When it comes to meal time, these Great Egret chicks certainly believe in survival of the fittest.
The chick on the left finally got it all.

Thanks, Brian.

Scott, it's been amazing watching these awkward, very ugly chicks evolve into what will become such a graceful adult! Ducklings arrive so cute and adorable. These guys, only a mother could love for the first few months.
