"ouch" doesn't matter, great blue heron chicks at feeding time...

These chicks mean business when it comes to food. There was lots of wrangling going on, and this parent shows what might be a beak injury from my guess and yours: junior! I liked this image bc the nicitating membrane wasn't visible. I wish there was more head turn from the chicks to see more of their eyes, but then i wouldn't have this head on behavior...

I really like this perspective, Ann. If you have enough canvas, I'd be tempted to try this in vertical.

I love the perspective on the parent and I am happy to see the 2nd eye visible through the open beak. Agree with trying a vertical composition. Nice work, Ann.

This is a very cool and fun image. I also like that both eyes are visible / the 'thousand mile stare' the parent is giving. TFS

Hi Ann great perspective and I also love the 'daggers' behaviour TFS

A vertical would be great well done
