Here is a Great Blue Heron nest with at least two chicks and one adult. The mate shows up with a fish in its throat and deposits it in the nest and then leaves. The adult and the chicks spend several minutes looking at the fish. Maybe part of their training? It then eats the fish with the chicks watching. I understand the chicks will be fed when it is regurgitated for them.
(Photos are not great. Taken from quite a distance in the very early morning.)

Nest with adult and two chicks that are surprising me with their very quick growth. I observed and posted the same nest and chicks on April 29 and 30 if you would like to compare their size.
