Splendid Beauty of Nature! I am amazed at how much these little guys can eat and how fast they grow up. Great image! Cornell Lab has their nesting cameras going now. The Red Tail Hawks have 3 chicks and the Herons are nesting. They also have 2 Osprey nests on their webcams this year! If you have time, check it out! fascinating. fave vtd

Larry, YOU take such amazing wildlife photos! What a fantastic shot! you really get up close and personal! Love your work and gallery! Thanks for taking the time to come by my gallery too! These little fledglings are so funny! You don't get fish much fresher than that! FV
Larry Nieland replied:
Kym, thanks for stopping by ! - I love your fresh comments ......The little ones tryed to eat this fish but it was too big so the parent had to re-swallow and digest it more.

Amazing---you photos not only tell a story---but they are priceless with charm. You are getting things that most of us will never see!! Love these little ones---so much expression. Is this the same family? They are getting big fast. Look at that 'pan' fish! fave and voted
