Fortunate to get to shoot this nest this year. I was late to the show and didn't get them really young. A very busy nest with pine straw everywhere...we were just getting ready to leave when mom brought in a juicy frog. Here are the two youngsters tearing it apart, not wanting to share this special treat.

Canon 5D Mark III
600mm lens w/1.4x


Enjoy!

Great family portrait in itself but the tug of war with the frog pushes it over the top. Nicely done.
