Went out with Zeke 1st thing to try to locate Rita & Ron & #9 & kids. 

Haven't been seen since 31 Jan @ when Zeke was bitten by Rita.

We slog thru Breju & Zeke finds them easily at Viveiro #2 location. @ 10 00 hours.

Rita & #9 approach w/in about 20-25 m, both w/ mobbing call. Rita more closely. (#9 with radio).

Zeke holds back. I begin talking & periodically approach, but especially retreat when she begins to move towards me. 

I see animal in background carrying infants; later we determine that there are still two. 

Rita produces rapid cluck wh/ is incredibly harsh & rapid & aggressive sounding. 

Also periodically arches & AW.
