Feeding Time

Four nearly grown blue heron chicks attack the adult heron bring food. It was soon after this that the adults stopped bring food to the nest, and the chick starting to leave the nest to search for food on their own!

I can see why the parental units might be interested in letting the kids feed themselves That looks like hazardous duty. Great shot.

That's so cool! Love how they all have their necks stretched up like that. Perfect timing and a perfect angle from you.
