    Default Three Chipping Sparrow Nestlings About to Fledge.

    It only took 10 days from hatching to fledging the nest. What a fun experience to watch the whole thing develop through our living room window from nest-buliding onwards. I told my kids that watching "Nestflix" was better than Netflix Lol. We're all now feeling a bit of empty-nest syndrome though as they became part of our landscape for these short times.... All three individuals pictured here fledged a couple of hours after this image was created.

    Canon 7DII + 100-400L @340mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/160s., f/8, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, small crop to help the comp, toned down a few brighter highlights, added a catchlight to the far individual, NR to oof areas.

    Nice view of this nest. Like the pose on all three. Details look great. I laughed at the nestflix comment.

    Nice natural view of the clutch! Guess they have to grow into those beaks. Amazing how fast the grow. If human kids were so quick, I might consider having them!
