Mother's rest... (ardea herodias)

This nesting mother had just finished her nightly duty of feeding her two, big as her, chicks. She flew off to a solitary tree branch to take in the sunset and afforded this view. Hope this doesn't break the rule. She is a nesting bird, but not on the nest and far away. I happened to have 800mm on the rig.
