Photographed at Nickerson Beach on Long Island. This looks like a friendly competition but the other chick just stopped by to see if the sibling was still hungry. :) Normally, each parent fed one of the chicks and there was no bickering, smart parents. :)

The low camera angle and sweet, warm light really make this family portrait, Axel. What an excellent series!

Outstanding image captured in great light. Really has a 3-dimensional feel to it.

Sweet moment captured, Axel. Nice to have eye contact with all three and the raised foot of one chick adds even more interest.

You could fill a book with your wonderful images of these OC's Axel. 

Everyone a delight and a fascinating record of their lives and behaviour!  :D
