We have a rookery close by in San Antonio and last year was the first time I'd seen one in action. It amazes me totally what these Mom's tolerate when feeding their...er, shall we say, frenzied and crazed young? Yep that would about describe it! :) Excellent capture, exposure, detail, color...and super stop action on the battle for the food! :) :) #10138940
