Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Here's 3 loon images from a basin loons love!
The 3rd image needs a point made. As you suspect, the parents have infinite patience with their chicks. Here, the parent approaches the first (of 2) chick with the crayfish.
But notice that the chick is out of the DOF. It is not even looking at the crayfish, probably because it is full at the moment. Its sibling is behind it and it accepted the crayfish. They must digest food very fast, because this chick that is not accepting the crayfish, will accept the next offering, which will happen in just a minute of so.
The parents need about 90 days to stuff () enough energy into their one or two chicks to develop them to the point where they are able to fly from the basin.
These two chicks on this basin hatched in the first week of July. I plan on getting to see them again next week, which will be about 60 days of development (like the 4th image I am guessing)
