"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 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.
