Thanks, Lee. It's a marked difference, isn't it?

The mother is still clicking as she approaches the chick. The male arrived with a fish shortly after I took this shot. Neither the mother nor the chick reacted with any enthusiasm to the catch, although the parent birds greeted each other. I've observed this before. The male stays for a while and eventually flies off into a nearby tree to eat the fish on his own. He'll catch another one after about an hour or so, by which time mother and the chick should be hungry.

Edited for bad spelling.
