These two had a pretty hot make-out session. Hope you find the bright background right behind their heads not too distracting. Photographed at Palo Alto Baylands, CA.
Thanks for looking. JR
PS: I have 10+ frames of the whole event. Anyone knows how to convert these into an animation?

I like it John !!! Not sure what they were up to here :) Might go even a little tighter and slight more space up top One of the few I would like having the eyes more to the middle of the frame !!!
Sharp and two good head angles !!! Sure wish I could help with the animation !!!.... can try fading slide show with minimal time between transitions !!!

Very cool and I am OK with the BG as it seems to be a spotlight on their heads.

This is called courtship feeding. Male feeds female as part of courtship process. Other birds such as parrots, gulls, terns do it.
