The nest is where life begins, but it was never meant to be where it ends.
Bathed in the warmth of the evening sun, three juvenile Great Blue Herons spend their final days strengthening wings, testing balance, and learning the confidence they'll need beyond the branches. Every flap, every hop, and every stretch brings them one step closer to the open sky.
Captured at Manito Park in Spokane, Washington.
