These wood storks were imaged last week on Artie's SW Florida IPT at Little Estero. It had been a rainy morning, and despite good photo ops, everyone was pretty tired and wet. The normal people elected to do a photoshop session. Of course, Daniel Cadieux and myself went back out that afternoon, along with one of the participants, Dennis Holt.
We were rewarded with great bird opportunities. Just after sunset the wood storks showed up and gave us quite a show. Their bodies are so beautiful, the feathers elegant, the ruff around the neck looking like a ladies boa. The heads however look like spare parts off the dinosaur scrap heap.
I liked the overlap here. I have a LOT of solo pictures from that night, but liked this one. Reflections are a bit busy with the extra body parts.
