It’s the same camera, I’ve just been working at taking better photos. 🙂 I love when they have determined faces like that. I see it in Bobby often when he leaves the nest. Sadie usually perches so high up, it’s difficult getting good looks at her. Thanks to the lower level of the nest we can see her better.

I feel as if I am doing the flying…did you change cameras?
The pic of Sadie w/ her glorious wingspan and feathers catching the air…such determination on her face
I felt as if I needed to duck our of her way as she swooshed by me in flight.

Well done!

🙂 It’s fun when such resemblances come out of nowhere yet seem so fitting.

Thanks Susan! I was pretty excited to see my camera had captured those wing curls when I looked at my photos at home. Her flight happened so fast, I didn’t even notice the curling until later.

I watched the cam a bit later in the day and two of them were eating a meal each in the nest so I’m pretty sure they’re eating enough. The park is a gourmet basket full of food and the parents are so vigilant, I personally have no worries. 🙂

Bet you could sell postcards or even big posters of that. Also love the one where the wing feathers are separated and curl up to catch the air currents. Just superb photography all the time.

Still – wondering about babies getting not fed enough? Don’t recall pix of them getting prey drops recently…aren’t they way too young to be on their own about food?
