With my recent postings of digiscoped pics from my trip to Florida, Wings on Wednesday is not much of a stretch from me this week 🙂
I had never seen this behavior before, and when I came on these two Wood Storks at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge taking their ease on a mudflat, I could not resist a quick shot with the Canon SX20is out the window of the car. I still don’t know if it is common behavior. A quick run at google this morning did not answer the question. If anyone knows more about this, I would like to hear.
Canon SX20IS at 560mm equivalent field of view, f5.7 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 80. Programmed auto.
Processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom.
Thank you. More than all the arguments from learned philosophers, your photos of birds indicate a tremendous concentration of universe inelligence at work – these guys look like they are pretty much at home while grounded….
I have been really enjoying these wonderful captures of yours!
