This sequence is from Merritt Avenue retention pond east of BJs. The mangroves gets packed with Great blue heron & Anhinga nests. Usually the birds are hidden by the mangrove leaves, but hurricane Irma has made for good viewing. I had never seen this before.

I'm always amazed at how far the chicks thrust their heads down the the trough of the adult to feed.

The mom re grouped for about 30 seconds & then was off for more food.
