These are two immature Little Bee-Eaters captured this past March. I think they may be siblings, but that would be a wild guess on my part.

Lovely, Chuck. It's always neat to see a couple of juvies of any species snuggled up like this and these are beauties. Nice poses, eye contact and a great bg round out an excellent image.

Hey Charles,
Nice look at these two with an image that has a very high 'Cute Factor' indeed.

Cute! Delightful little birds. nice poses and BG. From here, they might use a bit more contrast and saturation.
