Mate Feeding *
Uploaded: July 26, 2009
Mr C. brought a seed, which he dehulled and broke into bite size pieces. Then, hopped over to Mrs. C., she altered her position to be fed and the two momentarily touch beaks as she took the seed. Mate-feeding continues through the egg-laying and incubation phases of breeding. Here, she is altering her position to be fed.

I love the colors and the reflection. Nice capture, Bunny. #1159585Bunny Snow July 27, 2009
Thank you, Gary.The Flaming Pear Flood Plug-in provided the reflection. The colors were part of nature, which was corrected in CS3 to the best of my ability.
I loved the positioning of the birds and was thankful I captured this ritual, although, I wish it were sharper. #7786088

Thank you, Julianne. What a nice compliment! This is my goal to tell this story.Some day I'll figure out how to compose the entire scene sharply to be composited in one image.
