Harpy Chick, 5 months old

Watched this chick for a day and a half, waiting to see if one of the parents returned to feed it. It had not been fed for 3 days when we left and it eventually was fed a further 2 days later. Its previous meal had been a black-tailed marmoset. It occasionally dug down into the nest to try to gain some nourishment from a bone, but Harpy eagles are not like lammergeyers and cannot get to the marrow. It spent time keening for its parents about every hour. When the wind got up it would exercise its wings and was expected to fledge in a further 2-3 weeks. It was exposed to high temperatures in the nest 28 metres up a brazil nut tree up to 37C when we were there. There was also quite a lot of smoke about on occasion from nearby burning.
