Fledgling: Getting Out (Take 2)

Losing a feather in large ("L").

I had fun photographing the Goosles today; they weren't being very active, but were still on good form. This fledgling had tried to get out once before, but slipped back in (Take 1: click right for the series). There was also a rather beautiful white pigeon/dove at the pond and it seemed more eager to hang around with the Goosles than the other pigeons. (Mrs. and the dove). My other Goosle shots are right from that picture...

Highlights:
Sploooosh
Shaking dry!
