Dad keeps delivering:

And now Dad's off to a branch:
He makes it back to
el nido after 12 minutes:
Mom makes a move at 20:34:

Dad's got one more feeding up his sleeve tonight:
He reacts nervously to a gunshot (at least three were heard between 21:17 and 21:23):
And this is the final moment of the day to have been captured on video:
Good night!

The stream comes back at 6:49:
El macho is no great rush:
He leaves the nest (probably just in order to spend a few minutes perched on one of the branches next to the nest) at 10:38:

Dad keeps making sure the chick stays in the shade:
It's generally a peaceful day (though the chick could do with a meal)
Here's some evening rain:

The shower's over:
Dad does some jumps to get water off his wings:
Ouch! He's caught the chick with a talon:

That doesn't stop him from more high jump practice:
What a bird!
He even manages to provide an appetiser (it's probably leftovers from the last few meals - his picks up some pieces from the floor, and the chick is not particularly impressed with the quality)

Thankfully, Dad is relieved of duty at 19:38:
It takes him just 13 seconds to leave:
A few minutes later Mom starts to feed the little one:

A few minutes later Mom regurgitates a proper chunk of meat:
Now we can play some foodball:
The chick can have no complaints now:

Naturally, tonight it's Mom who's staying with the chick:
The day ends a little early (not enough sunlight to power the camera):
Good night!

31 May
The stream starts at 6:51 today:
La hembra and
el pollo are taking it easy this morning:
At 10:09 Mom suddenly leaves the chick alone:

A baffled little chick (Mom's out of sight):
Mom comes back a minute later with a fresh harvest of soil, moss and possibly grass:
Why are you looking at me like that?

The chick follows Mom across the nest (note the chick's bare neck, so characteristic of the species)
A gentle hint of a feeding:
Mom and her child:

Dad comes home at 13:04:
Mom take a little longer to leave than seems to be the recent norm:
Dad leaks some liquid food (to the nest floor):

This image looks more promising:
Mom returns at 13:09 bumping into Dad, who is a little slow in making room:
Mom's on the left, in case you'd like to draw a comparison:

Now Mom goes up on the branch at the far end:
While she's still perched, Dad takes off at 13:17:
In fact, he hasn't gone very far, either:

Is that you, Dad?
The male eventually comes back into the nest at 13:38:

Dad shares a morsel with the chick:
El macho prepares to defend the nest:
Heavy rain and thick fog descend over
el nido:
