No One Told Me!

No one told me parenthood would be this hard.

 

A great egret with three very mature juveniles has a tough go at feeding her/his young.

 

Both parents feed young, by regurgitation - so this could be the Dad or Mom. Young may clamber out of nest at 3 weeks, able to fly at 6-7 weeks.

 

I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished going through folder 12 - over 1000 photos in that folder - I'm on folder 13 - that has 1428 photos!
