Mamma Mommy Mom Mom MOMMMMMMA!!!!

This is a busy little Western Kingbird with five mouths to feed, all screaming "FEED ME!!" all at once. The adult bird dropped a bug in the mouth of the second one on the left and it continued to scream for food even with the bug in it's mouth! There were five of the babies in the tree outside a restaurant tonight. Can you spot all five? Their nest is actually in that little tree. We parked very close to the tree.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions on this and my other photos, I appreciate them. Thank you for looking.

It took me 42 seconds to find the 5th one! That's a great photo - kinda like the 'Where's Waldo' for bird watchers. And what a great action shot. Lovely.

@happypat I think the other two may have had fuller tummies. I may just post the one still screaming with the bug leg sticking out of his mouth, it was so funny.

These little birds look almost old enough to get their own food. She much really have her hands full with all those hungry mouths. At first I thought they were singing in unison. Nice capture.
