Some s'caps that I took yesterday and forgot to post. I'm good at that!! Not even sure of the time except that it was late afternoon.

Mom out on the branch--one chick watching and clacking



Mealtime



food fight

The older two beak it out while everybody else takes advantage of that and eat like crazy



Lots of little blue feathers growing in



A face only a mother could love!!

A look at a big, gray chick foot.



Another face shot also showing those blue feathers (and some mighty bad hair )



Mom preens while the kids are all in food comas

We apparently have new links for the two blue heron cams that have been placed on a permanent new page. Both new links are now in the first post of the thread!!

Thanks Mary!

11:12 AM Dad on the nest and just look at the sky. Very windy this morning!

4:09 PM Dad gives up a huge meal.


4:12 PM One of the chicks swallows a huge fish


4:13 PM Another chick swallows a huge fish, you can see it is stll going in! They are surprising in the size of what they eat. # 5 is always in there pecking away at the large fish. You can see the first part is way down in his neck and it is not all in there yet!
