Wood stork in flight

Wood stork in flight (Mycteria americana)

Found in the southeastern U.S., mostly Florida, this is a large stork, heavy body, and big bald head. They nest starting in January and a favorite rookery spot in my area is Wakodahatchee Wetlands - this time of year, there are upwards of 150-200 nesting pairs in just a square mile or so.

Fabulous eye-level full frame aerial close-up of this Stork. Great focus, dof, stop-action, and detail. Great job Justin!
