I’ve gotten photos of the babies with their parents feeding them. Very cute!

I’ve also gotten shots of them fledging, but I will tell you I was thoroughly dive-bombed the last couple of times I’ve tried. I don’t want to scare them just so I can get a neat shot, so I’ve stopped doing that. I want them to happily procreate and feel safe in my yard.

I have a massive 500mm lense (i did protogrsphy for awhile, adn bought a great zoom lense) so I can sit back and still get closeup shots- the swing is far enough away that they don’t dive bomb us- they feel co fortsble going in and out of the house- we garden right by their homes, so they get pretty used to seeing. Us there. If we get too close, they stay perched nearby until we move to other section of garden. Haven’t had them dive bomb us yet thankfully
