I swear it took me forever to see the little one, and then it's all I could see. Great series.

Very nice. GBH's often look mysterious and sinister to me. I really like #1

Very Nice!

#2 has a certain epic (Bird Vs World) quality to it that I find very appealing.

Brilliant shots Scott! Love 'em! The young GBH in #3 almost looks like a cartoonish dinosaur. Definitely needs to grow into that body. How soon before the babies try to fly from the nest?
