in the New Eastern Flock
When the family was seen by a busy road, the chick that left with its parents was captured by costumed staff members and returned to the refuge. But the parents didn't return that night as expected. The two chicks (not together) roosted alone that night. The next day the chick flew away to re-join its parents. The three stayed off the refuge for the rest of the week. This photo was taken on September 14. The second chick has not been seen since September 12, 2006. Where do you think the chick might be?
