Ottawa

Kind of scary looking, aren't they? Once I stepped back a bit and started using my longer lens, they didn' seem to be bothered by my presence. They simply carried on with the task at hand; that is, flying in and out of the nest. (Shot 4 of 5)

A longer lens is the only safe choice. Not worth a sting from these fellas!
