I have never seen the getting ready to fly and extending their wings. Not as pretty this way, are they? :)

Beautiful catch! I think she is gorgeous in fly-away-home mode!

OMG!! I'm scared!! I agree with Mark, she sure lost her beauty from this angle! Jack did you upset her? Great shot!

Neat study, Jack! It sure loses its "cuteness" in flight mode.
