Great Blue Heron Family 1

Venice Rookery - Venice, Florida
April 2nd, 2022
I don't normally take family portraits, but made an exception in this case. I watched this pair of nearly fledgling Great Blue Heron young, as they squawked, fought and demanded food from their overworked parent. I was able to grab this capture just before 'Mom' left for another trip to the GBH grocery store for some more fish to feed her young. I love the 'spiked' hair like feathers these birds display at this age. Seems to match their temperament and attitude when they are hungry.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
