The Great Blue Heron chicks are growing quickly, getting more demanding every day! Until you see it yourself, you won’t believe what these parents put up with when it’s feeding time for the chicks! It’s easy to see how a parent could lose an eye at feeding time. These chicks want food and they’re not afraid to abuse their parents until they get fed!!! Click on the photos to enlarge….
The image below is telling. Mom or Dad are not sure they want to jump down into the craziness!
Too late to back out now!
It’s every man for himself now. Check please!!!!
Nothing like a good belching contest after a good meal!
Mom or Dad has had enough! They sneak out the back door with both eyes intact. Next time it’s the other spouses’ turn for this punishment. Fortunately for the parents the chicks will leave the nest soon and be on their own…..
All in all, a fun day…… for me at least. Thanks for looking!!!
