Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) juvenile
These two always seem to be together, the third chick tends to be on its own.
While out on the Ohio River last week I was blessed with eagles…up to seven different ones representing all different stages of life. A true indication of a healthy, thriving population!
In this shot I was able to capture two of the five American Bald Eagles who were enjoying a ride on a thermal updraft. I’m not sure if it was a rank/dominance thing or who just got there first, but the two juveniles were together at the lower level, thus this photo. Above them a single juvenile but a few years older than these two as it was already transitioning to its adult markings. Far above it was a pair of adults. I have always enjoyed seeing raptors enjoying themselves in thermals, natures merry-go-round!
Adventure before dementia!

Juvenile great blue herons flex their wings in normal behavior in preparation to leave the nest for the first time. These were awaiting the mom's return near sunset in the Viera wetlends, Florida.

From Cornell:
Not all young that hatch survive the nestling period. Aggression among nestlings is common and large chicks frequently kill their smaller siblings. This behavior, known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor breeding conditions in a given year.

No, this actually turned into a little spat. The colt on the left is 3 days old and the one on the right is 2 days old. The younger one stood up to his big brother.
Thank you for the visit!
Another entry folks that I thought was pretty interesting, I was photographing the one on the left when the other came out of the burrow with it's back to me, but did a 180 to see what was going on, I thought that it was an exorcism LOL :-)) but to have a frontal pose and a backward pose was a little different, thank you for listening, visiting and commenting, and have a wonderful day.
Thanks go to andywelshman for a great testimonial he wrote for me.

I watched these two black skimmer chicks battle it out a number of times and the parents even tried to intervene by trying to separate them :-)!
This pair of killdeer was just a sampling of the offspring from the killdeer who wasn't happy to see me a few weeks ago. Looks like her careful attention has kept them around this long!
Six of seven juvenile Great Blue Herons, most likely from two broods, learning to forage for themselves on Horsepen Bayou. Number seven is off to the right after refusing to sign a release.
These little Common shelduck-lings were too cute to watch. They lived last summer in a natural reserve at the baltic sea island Fehmarn, and I couldn't stop watching them.
The photo is cropped and not too sharp, but to see these two fluffy siblings was so heartmelting, I don't want to withhold this sight from you. Sometimes it could mean more what a photo shows than what quality it is.
