This
is a baby rock kestrel. The parents have been nesting in the eaves of
the balcony roof for 12 years. They mate for life and apparently can
reach the age of 26. They have, in our experience, produced 1 healthy
chick every year. Once I thought there were 2 but I am not sure. Like
all babies, it screams and performs and demands food all day long. He is so sweet to look at!
