A few of the picks were taken a few nights previous, When I was able to free a woodstork that was tangled in fishing line. Ther were two dead birds within feet, that were also bound with fishihg line.

I once helped a wildlife agent untangle a pelican from a fishing line. Birds getting caught up in discarded and lsot fishing lines is sadly a common occurrence.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
I now have an extension pole with a blade on my pontoon boat. I seem to have many opportunities to rescue birds, on my frequent trips to local rookeries near my house.

Yes they were all handheld, taken with my 300 f4. I am blessed by having a large active Rookery very near my house. It is only accessible, by boat. In the right conditions, flybys are in the hundreds per hour. I strive to become better with each visit.
