In The Nest

[Milt Berko]

I found these two GBH fledglings in a nest at Wakodahatchee and was intrigued by their interplay in their home environment.

Milt, I like the interaction here. Good eye contact for the sitting bird. The BG is a bit distracting, and overall the image is on the bright side. The whites on the birds and nest seem to be too hot.

I originally had a slightly darker image and brightened it up. Here it is before brightening.

Hi Milt Glad to see they are doing fine !!!

I like the crop and behavior, would have liked seeing the right side bird with head parallel for a better view of the eye !! Over at Wako the bg is challenging !! Would try moving to at least avoid the vertical light line !! Will be fun when they fledge, hope you get one !!!

[Harold Davis]

agree with al. moving around will help to find a better bg. just have to watch the sun angle too!

Hi Milt - do agree with AL and Harolds comments.
Dont get the opportunity over here much - so must be great even just to sit and watch.
Looking forward to seeing more :)
