6.05 am - Dad on baby warming duty this morning since I logged on at 5.30 am.

7.55 am - Dad still in with baby.  Cadence must be out hunting.  

8.19 am - Was away from desk so missed Cadence coming back.  She's brooding baby now.

8.24 am - Cadence left briefly and came back in with food.  Feeding going on.

It's too bad the building folks wouldn't lay low during nesting season to give them a chance 

I will get to Union County Courthouse shortly to see Cadence in action.  Not sure they will band the chick this year because of the stress on Cadence.

Thanks Bonnie, take pictures if you can!   

4.27 pm and Cadence is in with food again for the baby!  So happy to finally see a normal routine here for them.  

4.35 pm and baby didn't eat much this time around, probably not used to so much food in one day!  Cadence is eating most of it  

ps: Six feedings today already that I've seen!

Duo - perfect timing

Wicked!

12.35 and Cadence is feeding the baby lunch.  I did catch two early feeds this morning as well  

2.20 pm and Cadence brought in food again. 

5.40 am - Cadence feeding baby breakfast.

Ok. Thanks Carly.  I assume they are not given names.

Doesn't look like it but at least they band.  We can always name them ourselves and just match them to their band numbers 

They do band there Carol.  You can find all the past years banding reports here (scroll down to the pefa section):

Donna - I believe that note was in response to some people asking if the NJDEP would go up and remove the body of the little one and the eggs.  No one had mentioned banding at all in the comments so perhaps that's not off the table yet. 

6.50 pm - Cadence in with some food for baby. 

Dad brought in some food for Cadence...

Was on subway home but happy to read that Cadence brought in food for the baby.  

Oh for the love of..dad is in now and wants on the eggs.  I wonder where Cadence went?  To do some hunting maybe.

She had the baby away from the eggs which is good and now dad has them all back together - hopefully she will get the baby away from them again..especially the one that's rotting.

Baby has been on his for awhile now.  That's what I don't like about loners - they have no one to hang out with and he's still so young. Looks like they've given up on the eggs finally.
