Cam says live ....

​​June 26 it looked like one of the chicks died. -
June 20 one chick was flying up to the roof.
 then no cam for a day.
Did someone retrieve the chicks body - hopefully for necropsy

[Nora in IA]

Oh no. :'( It MIGHT have been retrieved, but I want to say mom or dad might have.  Maybe we'll hear something.

[Nora in IA]

OK the poor little one was sent for tests, no results yet!

Where is report on Alma chick?

[Nora in IA]

That's what I found out from Amy.  They didn't have the results back yet.

Inconclusive. It wasn't killed by HPAI. But it also wasn't killed by something physical as far as they could tell - it didn't have injuries consistent with electrocution (in this case, lightning striking near the nest box) and obviously didn't collide with anything. It also didn't appear to have the hematomas I associate with black fly bites and wasn't emaciated.

Still kind of wondering about blackflies since they were so bad, but the long and short is that we don't know. Plant contact reports that the rest of the family is doing well.
