You always read "DONT TOUCH THEM" and all this crazy stuff. Had we not stepped in they would have drowned, it was the right thing to do and it all worked out. Don't play with them for the fun of it, but if they're in danger or too young to be out of the nest I say help out, put them back, give them a chance.
Most of the time, trying to help does more harm than good. There are exceptions to every rule but that doesn't mean you throw out the rule. I'm glad it worked out, this time.
We are not separate from the laws of nature. We are cognizant . So I think aiding during mother nature's rain tantrum is part of the cycle. Thank you for the update and your instinct to aide in their well being.
Good news, we saw mama late last night in the area of the nest. I had put a little piece of twine in a circle on the nest, today the circle was slightly broken but not by much. Check the nest real quick, the three little ones looked good. They started moving around no problem when I uncovered the nest and seemed plenty alert. It's been over 48 hours, if mama wasn't coming back by now they'd have been in bad shape.
