Bird feeding

[trinko]

I've got a lot of pictures of birds feeding their young but I've always wanted to get a photo where the actual food transfer could be seen. Just curious I guess. Anyway after years of trying I finally succeeded. You can see the small fish that is being transferred inside the baby snowy egrets beak

The mothers tongue is guiding the fish into the babies mouth.

That is a terrific shot! I hope it was your intent to start a thread of similar photos, if not I apologize. Here are a couple of mine. It sure is a thrill to capture feeding of the young isn't it?!
