This couple is obviously in love. The male in the back was continually bringing nesting material to his "wife", who is showing loving gratitude in this image - To my eye anyway ;)

Thanks for looking. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

A fine behavioral image Ed. :) Love the tender interaction here. I would run some NR on the background, just seems a little speckly. :) Thanks for sharing.

Great interaction captured here, and love the turned heads towards each other. I agree with Akos that some NR in the BG would help this a lot. Well done Ed.

Great moment captured, I also like the details and would run NR on the BG. You could also raise the color temperature a bit.
