THere was little we could do with the clutter of branches and leaves with the nests . We had to set up in the blinds and hope for the right position and poses of the chicks. Though the stick above its head and by its side are annoying, the pose is priceless, so I am sharing this one. I had not processed this image before.

A bit soft and rather busy overall ...
Agree that this is an interesting pose you captured, Steve! :roll:

Priceless is an understatement. Too cute!

Sweet pose, Steve. The limitations of the situation show but great to be able to get such an environmental shot.

Steve, you did a great job with what you had here. I'd remove a little bit of yellow.

Steve,

This is a very nice capture. I think it is a tad over saturated on the yellows.

Thanks,
Bob Wright

Tough shot but very nice Steve. Saw lots of these guys (not chicks though) in SE Arizona last spring.
