We had to rescue the Arboretum cam chick twice this week….the first time last Wednesday after it blew out of the nest in a storm, and the second time at 6:30 am this morning when it was self feeding and a little gust of wind flipped him over….he hung on the side of the nest for a while and then fell. I saw it and called the Groundskeeper Jim Elskamp at 7 a.m. and we met out there and found the chick and returned him to the nest again. Some photos below of both rescues…we took him to the Raptor Center on Wednesday for observation, but today we just consulted with the vet there, and decided to put him back on the nest. We will all be watching for any signs of trouble…..hoping he stays put for a while now.
