Due to severe weather conditions of torrential rain and wind for over 24 hours, the smaller of the two, Chick#3, perished and Chick#2 looked certain to follow being too weak to raise itself up enough to food beg. A decision was made to intervene and the two chicks removed from the nest. The surviving, though severely weakened, Chick#2 was hand fed at the nest site. It revived sufficiently to be returned to the nest where Nora fed it again. Later seen to be much more alert and responsive.
