I was tempted to shoot these birds although the lighting condition was very harsh. Usually they would be on a branch way up high but today they had decided to sun themselves where I was able to get some eye level shots.

  1. Great birds, Madi. I still remember the series you shot of the failed nesting. Looks like they have been successful overall, even if not that time.
