Lunch time!

Mother RWBB has quite a catch for her young ones. I watched her take lunch to her nest where three little ones were mighty hungry. I didn't realize it at the time but my shutter speed was way, way too slow. Always learning the hard way I guess.

Still came out pretty sharp John. Nice shot. Looks like there is a lot of food out there. . .

A really cool shot showing the ability of these birds to ctach prey.. it looks like this is a pretty big crop though which robs it of a lot of detail

Nice shot I think they squirmed while I was watching.

A most unusual portrait. Well done. And it looks like you got away with 1/80th.

John, I think your SS and apparent large crop (fair amount of noise) exacted their toll but the intimate look at food handling is very interesting.
