I spent two very enjoyable days with them this last week.

The lake was very calm making for great reflections.

The adults stretched their wings several times showing off the beautiful patterns in their feathers.

I watched them catch many fish and minnows to feed their baby.

When mom came up with this bluegill, I was thinking it was a little big for the baby to eat.

Mom ate it herself.
