[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It has been raining for two weeks here and as they say food is scarce. This family of Rufous Tree Pies (Dendrocitta vagabunda) 2 juveniles and mother were having a nice breakfast of left over coconut and mangoes. The young ones make such a racket when they see food, one feels sorry for the mom, how she tolerates their nonstop nonsense :)

I was waiting for some birds to turn up and was lucky to get the whole family, some times dad too accompany them.

This was shot in RAW and processed using Adobe CS, the image is not cropped. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi Anil.

Excellent composition and point of focus exactly where it should be.The thing that makes this special is that birds are like your friends as we can see from this photo. Even though am not an expert in such images, I can feel the musical play here, which caught your eye and turned this a "family breakfast".

LOVELY TONES, EXCELLENT CATCH..

regards,
jean paul

Hi, Anil
Nice record of the family. You are one lucky lot, who are taking pictures in your backyard-? Good. I think the front one is disturbing in the picture.

Sweet moment,lovely capture!

Hello Anil,
Always a bit difficult to photograph these kind of birds on the ground IMO. But you managed well photographing this threesome. Besides these are beautiful Pies. Never saw them before; I'm happy;-)
