This cormorant has two half-grown nestlings, and they were hungry and begging. At this stage their food is fish regurgitated from the throat of the adult. One chick was noisily demanding food, pecking at the bill of the adult.
This image shows one of the nestlings with its head inside the mouth and throat of the adult, being fed semi-digested fish through regurgitation. As the young get older, It looks a bit dangerous, but seems to work. La Jolla Cove, San Diego area.
This White-faced ibis was sitting patiently on the nest, incubating three turquoise-blue eggs.
