Lovely family portrait, Jake. Interestingly there is big size difference among the chicks. Parents probably favor one of them.

I'm not sure if they were born at the same time.  The bigger one took down a whole catfish while we were there and the other two did not get a bite.  So, apparently like most animals, the dominant one gets the goods.
