I hate to be behind the times...but what is the Guzzler Cam?   What is that thing it's looking at?

Just saw the runt getting fed!!!!  Wooo hooo!!!   :2thumbsup:  He may be much smaller than the others, but at least he's still growing and starting to get more feathers!

That little guy sure is holding his own!  Maybe he is just a midget!!  Wouldn't it be a kick if when fully grown, he's the size of a finch!  I just hope his sibs don't end up pushing him out of the nest because they need the space.

The little runt is holding his own.  I notice that some of the larger jay babies are opening their eyes now!

Looking at the flicker nest, it's interesting how Mom keeps moving them.  Right now they are in a perfect circle, with 5 outer ones and one in the middle.  Last night they were lined up in 2 adjacent rows of 3 each.  This is so interesting!

My wife hatched chicken eggs each year as a class project. The eggs must be turned every so often to prevent the chicks from being born with deformities.

So, maybe the little runt jay didn't get turned enuf when it hadn't hatched yet, and that is the problem?????  I'm wishing so much luck for that tiny bird.......

Reviewing the recorded portion it looks like Mr Flicker was the one that changed the camera.

I'll get the ladder out a little later this morning and readjust the camera position.

I'm not seeing runt-jay on the nest cam.  Is he under someone or did they push him out?

Well, very soon he's most definitely going to be alone.  Once the other three take off.  I hope mom and pop still continue to nurture him once the others have flown the coop.

While I was adjusting the Flicker Nest Cam I grabbed a few shots with the small camera.
As soon as I took the ladder away Mr Flicker returned to sit on the eggs.

Great picture!  I think it's neat that Mom and Dad share the egg-sitting duties!

I think dad has spent more time in the nest than mom.

I wonder if he's lazy and likes the rest or is he actually working hard at this egg sitting project   ::)
