Feed me, now...

In the last light of day, the chick demands more food. When the GBH chicks get to this size and larger the feeding is violent to mom. This survivor begs as in last post as mom works on regurgitant the chick thrusts up and drags mom's bill down to the nest floor. In full resolution, you can clearly see mom's bruised eye even with frequent use of membrane.

I slightly lowered the EXP(from time frame was taken) to show detail in the whites as both my previous posts were seen as hot even though they have plenty of detail at full resolution. I am hanging over a railing while holding onto an infrormation plaque to get this one clean angle to this nest. Even so, there were FG and BG interlopers during this short burst of 10 frames( 2 seconds on R).

Thanks as always for all very valued inputs, They are always deeply appreciated and learned from. Keep them coming, please.

Sweet light here. Great view of the eye on the little one. Framing looks very nice. Hope to see some more.

Very nice behavior shown with gorgeous end of day light.
I might reduce the yellows in this image (even though the sunset was creating this warm light, it is just a bit strong)
