May 30, 2008: The hawklets should fledge in about five days. There are two females and one male. The females are doing very well: exercising their wings and jumping from the window ledges to the railing. They are actively ripping and tearing food that mom brings to the nest. The male hawklet is not doing well. He seems to have problems with his beak and his eyes. The lower part of his beak (the lower mandible) is over-grown and juts out beyond the upper part of his beak (upper mandible.) This keeps him from being able to close his beak and makes it very difficult for him to rip and tear his own food. As a result, he begs almost continuously for food and his parents are still feeding him. Even being fed is difficult for him, with his malformed beak. Mom is very patient with him attempting over and over to put food into his mouth and cleaning his beak for him where food remnants are building-up. She is a good mom! His eyes appear somewhat cloudy, swollen and crusty, perhaps from some sort of infection. Infections and parasites can cause developmental problems. At the end of the video, you can see a parent arrive to check on the hawklets. "We are going to let the two healthy birds fledge without any disruption. If possible, we will grab the third nestling once his siblings are airborne. We will give him an exam and see if there is anything that can be done to fix his ailments. If it is something that is quick and easy, we will put him back out on the ledge to rejoin his family. They will all remain in the area for many weeks following fledging so we would have at least a little time to treat him and still be able to put him back out. If it is something more complicated, we will have to explore other options." I very much doubt that "quick and easy" will work. Parasitic infections can be treated, but it may be too late to undo the damage. The "other option" is probably humane euthanization.
