The opening sentence has me stumped.  Once I can get that, I'll start compiling a story.  Thanks for your encouragement and ongoing interest.  I went to the nest this afternoon and I can't believe I had to leave after about 45 minutes due to the threat of rain.  Two hours later and there's a bright blue sky mocking me.

The chick continues to develop.  I took this shot less than a minute after arriving on site.  It was looking directly at me, swaying its head from side to side, its gaze never wandering for a second.   I've noticed the parent birds do this when they're really focusing on something.   It was also panting in the heat. At least it didn't flatten itself to the nest floor so it clearly wasn't bothered by my presence, just curious about the humanoid with the extraordinarily big growth on its face.
