Wood stork
I had the pleasure to photograph a wood stork that had passed through Arizona last year. A very CHANCE encounter I would say as this is about the 5th recorded sighting for years. This image also was taken when i was first getting into bird photography so I'm sure there are a few things wrong here. I had cropped this about 90% and would have preferred a different setting but I'm still happy with this capture and sighting.

Great find, the bird really seems to be out of his territory. I like the walking pose and would sharpen the bird more. A lower angle would have made a big difference.

Hi Peter - agree with Axel - some more sharpening to the bird only would improve.
Pose and composition look good.
