Red-winged Black bird

Took this shot of four RWBB at Green Cay, I watched the female feeding the chicks for at least one hour.
I hate the dead OOF leaf at the bottom LC, but this leaf probably will improve the chance of the chicks to survive.

Comments and recommendation welcome.

Hi Raul I think you made the best possible image from your position !!! Babies are razor sharp and excellent dof !! Love it !!!

OMG!!!!!! This is adorable, wish I could see it. Burning the leaf or multiplying it may help, if it's darker it will be less obvious.
