Yes BW, Fledge Day is one of my all-time thrills. I've watched them for 10 fledgings so far and have managed to get a picture of at least one from every clutch. Some better than others.

It takes a lot of preparation to get the cameras ready. Then you never know when they will jump, or what direction they will fly. If the light is too low, it reduces the color in your picture and if it is in bright sunshine, you get harsh shadows. And most of all, you never know just where his wings will be when you click the shutter. In the final analysis, on top of all the thought and preparation, it takes a lot of luck.

I would call this guy my Indian Brave. I'm sure you can see why.
