One baby bird is missing from the nest and you are wondering if it is all right?

Hmmm. I assume this is a wild bird nest? Chances are, it either fell out of the nest, successfully managed to fly out of the nest, or was eaten by a predator. Either way, there's not much you can do.

If by chance you DO see it on the ground, pick it up and put it back in the nest. Unlike mammals, birds generally cannot smell very well, and will NOT abandon it because you touched it. However, hovering around the nest or trying to take care of a baby bird WILL cause more harm than good.
