2 Pumping Up Wings
This is how I found it early in the morning when still dark. It had just come out and climbed up side of brick to start pumping its wings out. The antennae are still wet & limp. And this is the only time I saw its eyes which would later be covered with furry feathers. I was shooting thru the habitat mesh with flash in very dim light. Left it in darkness until I could have a friend come over for release later in the morning.
