White-faced Heron - juvenile

[Earthmother]

I was so excited to see the adult White-faced Heron feeding her 'baby' Didn't get close until she flew off to get some more tucker.
He certainly picked an awkward branch to perch on.

Even he looks awkward with one foot higher than the other. Good capture.

Thank you

Love the pose and expression. He could have been an accordion player in his last life.
Looks like you have been having a great time seeing the newborns lately Jess.

Thanks Jo
It's been really great having the opportunity to see lots of 'babies'
