Taken yesterday at Venice, FL. There were two babies in the nest, but one has its head down. (It was cold at 51° F with the wind blowing, which kept the birds huddled down until later in the morning.) When I got there at 8:00 I thought I was too late for good photos, but as it turned out, nothing happened until about 9:30, when the sun cleared the pine trees at my back, and it warmed up considerably. Then all the birds started moving around and doing their usual thing.
