Wow, they are growing fast. In my garden a couple of blackbirds are having a nest with 3 babies now. I have noticed the male blackpird is very busy collecting food for the little ones and he is getting thinner and thinner every day. Must be hard working for a daddy. I wonder.... how is your figure today!! (smile...). An adorable and beautiful capture Dan, I love it! Greetings,
Diana.

Dan: Imprinted is a word used in etology (the study of the animal behavior) with the one that define to the animals that are raised from very babys for other species like a man in this case and the birds don't know if they are human or if you are a bird, hahaha. for that reason is my interest to know which will be the final result in their behavior.

Oh, Yeah! This is perfect, Dan! Excellent DOF, and a great moment. The banding is not that bad, or, better, barely noticable, and I don't think I would've noticed, if you hadn't pointed it out.... It's perfect how the intrinsic fear of humans is easily forgotten with the prospect on food. Very good use of DOF (maybe a tad too shallow, as the beak is already a bit out of focus), and a very good shot! My compliments!
Cheers,
Hugo

Funny you should say something about imprinting.Today I was feeding them and when I was done two of them were following me around the lawn. I would walk by and they would run up to me. The largest one flew today.From about 7 feet high down to the ground but traveled about 15 feet.

Dan: I see that your stepchildren are every time more big and beautiful, I also believe that they have become so important to all your friends of Usefilm including me. I am very fond of the ornithology and I would like to know what behavior they will have once they reach the age of abandoning the nest because they are birds that are definitively imprinted .

Hi Dan, thanks for taking the time viewing and commenting on my images - much appreciated :-)
How are the baby birds doing? Would you believe that I am more than 10 000 miles away from you and I worry over them?
