Good Morning Dunedin! Good Morning All!

Wow~! They started the banding earlier than planned yesterday. I am so glad I managed to pull up the cam in time to see the banded chick being placed back into the nest. Also got a video after back in nest which I will process soon.



10:30am- Chick out of nest.


10:32am- Bucket moving in close to nest.

Jean, I posted the 10:00 am start time this morning, guess you didn't see it But glad you saw the banding. Barb will have good videos.

10:32am- Chick being carefully placed back into nest.


10:32am- Chick's right wing extended.



10:32am- Bucket ready to move out.

Hi Jazzel. NO I didn't see your post about the 10:00am banding. I had my eyes dialeted yesterday afternoon and I couldn't do computer work the rest of the day. The drops lasted much longer than normal! Barbara said she would email me pictures and all so I am hoping she follows through so I can post them!

10:32am- Chick lays with right wing extended.


10:35am- close up.


10:35am- Head buried, wing extended. I was getting worried that our chicks wing might have been injured but a little later he had it drawn up and moving alright.

11:47am- Mom is back with chick and giving it a feeding!
