How quickly our joy turns to sorrow....one of the newly hatched chicks on the Arboretum cam nest has died. We dont know why.
It was reported earlier today that one chick kept falling over and missed a feeding. It has been raining this afternoon so Mom was just brooding them and they could not be seen. She finally stood up and it is clear that one chick is motionless, mom has poked at it. The other is moving around, his head bobbing and looking for food. Its a very sad situation....and now we will see what the parents do with the lifeless little body. Think good thoughts for the remaining chick.
The chick on the right appears to be deceased....
