As part of our record-breaking Cahow Nesting Season, tune in tonight to watch LIVE as "Totoro" the newly named CahowCam2 chick prepares to fledge!
Our Team will do their best to control the CahowCam3 Surface Cam to track her as she makes her way around the Colony imprinting and exercising throughout the night.
Unlike her neighbors, which tend to explore further, over the past few nights, she has been making very short trips just beyond her burrow entrance, never roaming very far before retreating to hide in the tunnel or back in the burrow to take a nap.
Yesterday when Jeremy conducted her latest health check her wing chord was 265 mm and her weight was 294 grams well within fledging parameters, so she could go at any time.
A good watching strategy can be first to check the CahowCam2 LiveStream to see if she is in the burrow, and if not she is either in the tunnel resting, or, and only when it is dark outside, she may be outside roaming around and hopefully still visible on CahowCam 3 if we still awake and able to remotely track her.
We will be also be posting updates to the Twitter feed found embedded further down on the CahowCam page:
Either way, stay tuned for a regular Newsletter with a full update and highlight replays.
