Great Blue Herons Feeding Chicks, 5/16/17, Lyons-Cutler Reservation - Sudbury

The first video (below) shows great blue herons feeding their chicks. In case you are squeamish, be warned that the video shows herons regurgitating partially eaten fish and then reswallowing what the chicks don't eat. The chicks seem to be much like human siblings, one minute they are getting along fine and the next minute they are trying to kill each other.
