There were lots of chicks in nests at Wakodahatchee Wetlands a couple of weeks ago. Because they hatch at different times, the growth of chicks differs. In this Great Blue Heron’s nest for example, while the parent preens, the two chicks check out their new world that surrounds them. The larger of the two is a bit closer to the parent’s beak so when it’s feeding time, that chick makes sure it gets first dibs.
