The Flights Were Stacked Up

Last week we had a good size crowd of wood storks coming and going all evening. They almost always arrived one at a time and they kept at it for about an hour and a half until the entire salt marsh area was warmed by setting sunlight.

  Well their faces could be considered more of a nightmare to some, but I like them fine. Plus I’m trying to take advantage of these big guys while I can because like the spoonies, the storks will soon move on.

I just love the wood storks. The sunset light in the last shot is so pretty. These guys are fun to see, and I like how their flight(s) was captured. Sounds like it was a busy airport evening! 🙂

  It was busy out there! Air traffic control had apparently lost all control. These guys were coming in from all directions! 🙂
