Snow Buntings
These guys were so tame that as I sat among the rocks the Snow Buntings would practically walk on my boots. Two frames prior to this, the adult's head was halfway down the chick's gullet, but I liked the HA's better on this one. From Flatey Island, Iceland 10 days ago.

Very nice Bill.
I really like all the blacks and greys in the image.
Nice interaction portrayed with 2 good HA's.
We will be on Flatey in 11 days! Hope we get some nice weather and good opportunities like this,

Super shot Bill good control of the tones, love the interaction.
Ohhh very nice indeed Bill! I like the monochrome colors and then the pop of the open mouthed chick, really accentuates the action. Nice and sharp, a real winner. Hope to see them soon!
Great interaction captured here. Always nice to have some cooperative subjects. Details look good.
Wow Bill, this is great! Looks like we still see a glimpse of the food item inside the young one's mouth, pretty cool. I love the touch of colour among all those blacks and greys.
I really love the interaction against the dark BG. Well designed and executed canvas... TFS
Hi Bill, ditto the previous comments. Wonderful interaction, colors and detail. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderfull moment captured beautifully, Bill. The parent seem to stick around for a spell right after feeding the chicks to make sure the food went down. Like all the greys as well.
