After spending many hours over many weeks out on the hiking trail, following the growth of the two hawk chicks and watching them fledge, and catching their first flight in the camera lens, a photographer feels a little down. But this year it goes on and on, as new families with young hawks and owlets keep presenting themselves to this amateur photographer.
These may be the only shots I get of this fledgling brancher, who stopped this once for a brief visit right outside the front door! It is very rewarding to capture a great photo just by being alert, looking up, grabbing a camera and being patient!
It is amazing to watch these young birds stretch, bounce, balance and leap into flight!
Flying from one saguaro to another...
And then finally flying off into the wild blue yonder.........
