Richard,

Love the second baby shot with all four of them up and begging.
The adult photo is fantastic!!
Great light and the green B/G really makes him pop.

thanks for the kindness.

truth be told, i took about 10 pics of the adult in the trees. for some reason, none were sharp except for this one.

the baby one was fun to take. i had to find the nest and then move a picnic table 15-20 ft from the tree. stood on the table and then wiggled my fingers above my head. guess they thought it was their daddy.
did it in one take then left the little guys alone.
