From a couple of weeks ago. As I arrived at the nest area, mom was perched in a tree a good ways away from the family home. One of her young ones had recently fledged and was in a different tree. The sun was just starting to pop over the horizon, so I didn’t hold out much hope for getting decent pics of her at that time. She took off to join her young one and I went ahead and squeezed the shutter. Thankfully, her face came out sharp and with the slow shutter speed, the blur to the fast moving wings makes it kind of fun.
