Great Blue Heron on nest with 2 chicks - Florida 2015

When arriving at Lakeland we could hear the chicks but mom soon appeared and heads popped up.

The two in the nest were always fighting.  As you can see one is larger than other.


Mom watches at the two fight using their beaks

The one almost fell out of the nest


see the size difference

little wings


The adult is trying to throw up the food to feed chicks.  They were ready
