Mom Does It All!

Mom (K26) brings a large prey to the nest to feed her fledging, Limuw (A63). Limuw shows up shortly afterwards and charges Mom, who retreats to the E-branch at the back of the nest. Limuw mantles the prey, whining the whole time.....carries it around the nest and attempts to eat it on his own. After several minutes of this, Mom comes down and feeds him and helps him eat on his own.
