109. 8 Feb. (cont.) morning of the 7th, as I doubt an unattended chick could survive the rats throughout the night. I first found him 1600, and returned at 1830, just prior to dark. As it was still unattended, I wanted to move him. Nest 29 still contained an egg, but it was way overdue - 75 days along on the 7th. It proved to be a non-fertile egg, so I removed the egg and put chick 33, 11 days old, under the incubating ♀ 29. The chick was immediately accepted, and the ♀ settled down on it as though it were her own. I remained about 5 minutes, but there was no feeding of the rather thin chick. However, this AM the chick was fat and full of oil, so it looks as though it is being fed by its foster parent. The ♂ 29 has not yet returned. Acceptance of an 11 day chick by a bird on an egg seems to defy all the traditional information we have about chick acceptance. Blue-faced Booby behavior this PM - in a slight drizzle. There was a good bit of fighting between 06, B12, R23, R27-28 - all around 05 and his egg, 06 driving off all comers. Stuffed a Bonin after chow - looks pretty good.
