Reminds me of "Heckle and Jeckle" - for those of you old enough to remember them!

Nice, Sandy. I like the pose of the adult a lot and the two chicks are well positioned with nice complementary head turns.

This is great Sandy. Great job getting a good look at both of the young ones. Very nice job on the exposure, lots of detail in the whites.

Nice family portrait Sandy. You didn't mention if this is full frame or not. I think a little more room all around might improve the comp. Cool interaction.

Very cool. I too like the different angles of the chicks beaks and that one is open and one closed. And focus spot on.

Yes Heckle and Jeckle is a good comparison Sandy! Nice look into this nest and nicely framed, but might like a touch more room at top still.

Great look at this Wood Stork family, Sandy! I like the poses of the adult and chicks, especially the one with it's beak open. Good handling of the whites. Very nicely done!
