Only one chicks now

Marion Nash Reports:

Sad news to report!

Looks like we lost one of the chicks. Since the early afternoon of the 14th there has only been 1 chick seen on the ledge. Linda has been out twice to have a look and see if the chick was indeed gone from the ledge and it there was a body on the ground but no luck. We suspect the chick was wither blown off in the awful winds we have had or was grabbed by a hawk while mom was out hunting, with only one parent attending the nest this is also quite possible. Since the chick was still so young and did not have the flight feathers in yet a fall from the ledge would not be survivable and who know how far the wind would have blown it as it fell.
