Nice details in the larger version here Mike, a good illustration of both the size of the nest and this protective behavior, well done. devil

What a great behavior shot, Mike. Wha a mother will do for her young. She looks like she could use a fan! Great detail, and I like that you can see one of the young in the nest.

An excellent behavioral image, Mike. I wish they'd left that last branch off the nest, but the pose is wonderful.
