Mostly taken in my backyard. Right after they first take flight, they need to air their wings out in the sun and become kinda docile. Ya sneak the macro lens/camera on a tripod closer step by step, inch by inch. They'll take off, do a loop or two and land right back where they started. I've gotten so close they were inside the focal length of the lens and I had to back off.

A wonderful subject.
