While taking pictures of these birds sunning in a tree on the plains of northeastern Colorado, they suddenly decided it was time to fly. By sheer chance I captured all three of them just after they leapt into the air. I really like this picture and think it almost seems like a stacked image of a single bird in three different spots as it launched into the air.
