Sandy,
This is a great post and it looks like you had a good time in Delray Beach. Congrats on capturing these 3 little ones, looks like spring was on time in south Florida this year. Further north spring was running late as the Heron nest that I encountered had no young during the first week in April.
This is a very warm and touching image, a very natural setting and it is
always good to have the sun at your back.
Well Done . . . :toast:

Wonderful shot. Your trip to Florida was certainly fruitful.

Great image of this Heron and chicks, Sandy! I like the way the one chick has his beak on the adult's beak and the other two are looking right at him. I also like the beautiful bg.

S stunning photo Sandy.I love the interaction between parent and chicks. Great colours and excellent sharpness. Some might say the composition is a bit tight but I think you've got it right, drawing right in on the action.
