Eastern Ontario

Waiting for Mom/Dad to bring home the bacon. I don't know how four of these big young can still fit in the nest. Presently, they are all standing and looking for dinner to be served; however, previously they were all hunkered down and one could hardly see them.

Great followup to the nesting saga, Hank. I cannot get that DOF with group shots, even with a smaller aperture than that.

This is really amazing, Hank! How did you teach them to pose:) V

They do have that lean and hungry look! Must be a daunting job for the parents. Cute chicks, here - one of them has a longer bill than his siblings. V

Vince		02-Jul-2010 12:44
They look hungry. A terrific shot Hank. Vote.

Jim Coffman		02-Jul-2010 12:37
