Thanks everybody for all the positive responses! I just got finished culling the dud shots from yesterday's outing, and will be adding to the set soon.
A couple of hours into this latest trip a surprise flew in...another green heron, not a chick and not an adult, but a juvenile from, I guess, some other brood earlier this season. Still had a tuft or two of baby fuzz on its head. I'll add this one to the set, too, if it turns out.

I believe this is the surprise that flew in. More confident than the four chicks, it was venturing all the way down to the water and snatching at bugs.

Be careful when photographing a nest. A predator may see you and then discover the nest.
