The dad, Baawaja, appears back on the nest after 13 days.
The harpy chick seeks shelter underneath dad.
Extreme windy conditions developed and a storm breaks. Baawaja, stands and protects the chick for over ten minutes with the water hitting hard on him.
The storm is over, dad is soaking wet and the chick appears completely dry.
Harpy chick´s life threats include storms and cold fronts among other extreme weather conditions. Our researchers wonder if it could have survived without the dad´s protection.
Let us know what do you think?

So glad dad came because I don't think the chick would have survived.

That is so wonderful to see and I'm sure it's not a coincidence. Dad saw the storm coming while watching over the territory and Mom was away hunting. Makes me dream back to those incredible days when I photographed the Harpy eagle nest with Rainforest Expeditions. Thank you for sharing!

That's why they say having a father is like having a roof above your head

We don't know enough about they nature he might come back after 13 days knowing is going to be a big storm and mummy is not going to be in the nest to protect the chick from the storm

And where were you at that time ?

Of course dad knew the storm will hit and mom is not in the nest to shelter the chick

Luckily there appears to be no goshawks in that part of the world to come and snatch the chick; or they don't fly as high as where the nest is. Recently I've seen a lot of videos of goshawks taking osprey chicks and even an eagle's chick.
