I took this picture of this heron nest with chick on a very windy day.   I liked the symmetry.  Feedback is always appreciated  Ry

A very good arrangement, Ry.  All the birds look pretty sharp as well, which isn't easy in a shot like this.  I'm not sure if it would work, but you might look at cropping some off the bottom to minimize the amount of oof foreground.  You might need to adjust the top as well to get pleasant proportions.

They look like Great Blue Herons to me, not Tricolor.

Interesting composition of these Great Blue Herons.  Well seen and taken.
