They fledged, She called, They flew

A happy chance encounter with a family of wrens that had just fledged and momma was encouraging them to leave their safe home amongst the thorns of the orange tree presented me with this photo op. As the babies were high in the orange tree, I had to crop these pretty severely but I don't think there was too much fall off. PP performed in LR5, PSE12, and SPE. Please try the downloads.

Glad you liked them Didereaux and that is how I felt about the catch for sure. Momma was calling and she encouraged all 4 bitties to take to the air which they did forthwith. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Greg, so glad you enjoyed them. The bird shots are really getting to be a challenge with all the fully leaved trees as you indicated, but I guess that makes it all the more fun. Really appreciate your visit and comment my friend. :-D :-D
