Desiree Burk Photography…capturing life
One week. Just one week is all the time I had to photograph these baby birds and then they were off. I did say my good-byes before they left since I had a feeling the time was coming. It would have been fun to see the process of them leaving the nest. Did Momma kick them out? Or did one of the little birds wiggle a little too much and, oops, one of them fell out and instinct took over? The mystery of the process.
Always have your camera with you! You never know what opportunities will present themselves to you. It has been at least ten years, if not fifteen since I have been this close to a bird’s nest with babies in it. Last time it was a hummingbird nest at eye level, only inches away from the path! My photography skills (equipment, knowledge, creativity and patience!) were such that I only captured blurry shots and discovered that when I received the prints back after processing (yes, the good old days of film only).
Time changes some things! I must say, I am pretty excited to have captured these photos. Enjoy!
