This is the stuff that really matters. We were at Petrie Island today and I discovered a Redwinged Blackbird nest in the reeds by accident. I didn't want to get too close, but I had the big lens with me. You have to look closely (full size image here) but in the sequence of three photos you can see the chicks beg for food, the mother feed them, and them sleeping. Circle of life.
