About This Image

Great Blue Heron youngsters in a feeding frenzy at the parent heron. You can get a better view of the tousled head tufts of the youngsters in this shot : )
When the parent began regurgitating the food, the youngsters went crazy and practically mobbed the parent. Guess they get pretty hungry stuck up there in the nests, waiting for the parents to return with food for them. Am wondering how long it will be before these youngsters fledge. It must be really something when they take their first flight. Not sure if I want to be there to witness the crash landings : )
