I've enjoyed watching this great blue heron nest. This juvenile is growing fast and has a personality of his own!

I love to see the young ones beg for food. They can be so rough. Very nice interaction and behavior shot. I like the way you framed it.

cool behavior shot, Michelle. I wonder how it would look as a horizontal, with more on the right.

I went back to the original image to change the crop as suggested. But there is a palm tree in the way. It definitely wouldn't add anything to the image. But thanks for the suggestion.
