Every bird reaches the moment when instinct asks more than confidence can answer.
Not yet fully fledged, this juvenile Great Blue Heron launches from the pine branches, trusting wings that are still learning their strength. Between the safety of the nest and the freedom of the sky lies a single leap, one taken on faith as much as instinct.
Captured at Manito Park in Spokane, Washington.
