Original post merged [Lester]

Actually I've noticed lately that my images inserted from Picasa are greatly degraded in quality. This set comes from Flickr and they are much better. I will delete my earlier post but would like to thank all that have commented so far:
BGgraphy, butterfly2937, 2n10, Stephen Stephen, 2slo, jodelak and manitobaman.

As stated in my earlier post this is my first encounter and there's a nest.

Great set, that fish looks like it larger than the birds innards.

Lovely set Val, should give you a good opportunity to get shots of the fledglings too.

Thanks Lester. I guess not. Didn't get rejected at the burrow.
