    This youngster suddenly opened his beak wide, anticipating the arrival of a parent. Yesterday's post, with clipped parent, was shot three seconds later. C&C appreciated.

    This is very nice, Bill. Love the open beak, showing the tongue and the feather details.

    Wonderful, Bill. Love the blue background, the interesting perch with barnacles and of course the pose of the bird.
