And we were super nervous about this bird not making the night because of that cold rain. The good news about rains in Tampa in the fall, they rarely last very long, but they can come down pretty hard and cold. So I called a colleague and said help me with this. I need some reassurance here. He said here comes back to the biology of the bird, we know the biology and behavior, perhaps not the smartest bird in the world, but very attentive to their chicks. So he said what I would do is I would pull that chick at sundown, bring it inside, keep it warm, and just before daybreak, just before it gets light, bring the bird back out and put it on the nest. Well, that was 100% correct. They never missed it.
