No go. They had been spending a bit of time off the nest today. I candled it and it looks like a early quitter. The next eggs will be removed and put under one of the racers.
That's pretty amazing! I wonder what bonnie and Clyde must have thought having this little one hatch out and start moving around! Good job you found it soon enough.
