I love the action shown here, comp, soft light, wing spread.

Did they break the branch successfully?

Randy, no s/he failed and was hanging upside down for like 10 seconds just to rest, then ended taking off. It was fun to watch.

Superb action. Love the warm light. Very nicely exposed and love the framing.
Thanks for sharing.
