This has always been a special moment, when the older stronger sibling starts jumping up and working out her wings.
She jumped up so high that when I focused on her, the nest disappeared from the frame. My prediction is that she will fly in two days time. I hope the weather will allow me to go back.

I don't think this youngster will have any trouble flying – beautiful pose with wings up and talons down. Great behavior captured, Karl.

Excellent behavior and the eye contact is really pleasing. Nice job on the exposure, depth of field and composition.

What I love about these shots is not only the actions of the fledgling, but the reactions and expressions of the others.  In this case priceless! :D
