Lovely image Jon, i like the setting, the action, chick and the fine detail you captured. Very impressive nest as well! Looking forward to the chicks as they grow!
Interesting to see it handling the egg. Never knew their eggs were blue! The scene is really, really busy, but it's an interesting behavioral shot regardless.
Pretty neat view from above the nest! Looks like foliage growing on the nest tree, so you may have some nice greenery surrounding the nest in a few weeks. Bummer about the BG though, not much you can do except to photograph wide-open and move around to see if there is a better spot (which I suspect there isn't). An overcast day would help minimize the lit streaky highlights and deeper shadows back there. Anyhow, cool to see, and it should provide you with lots of fun as the chick(s) grow.
Thanks very much everyone. The background is not ideal but I can live with it. after all this is the sort of place they inhabit, they choose these locations intentionally. I did in fact lower contrast saturation and definition on the background.
