Shift change on nest – Part 2 – Partner accepts gift

An Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) was sitting on it’s nest, and the partner brought some nesting material which was clearly acceptable to the occupant. The gift giver must have broken this material off a tree since it still contains living (green) leaves.

The image is a little noisy since the nest was deep in a dark swamp. I had to use an ISO of 20,000 to capture the action.
