*** Wood Working ***

Osprey Whisperer

Hello folks, It's been a while. Busy working, entertaining company and playing flu victim. Did manage to get out in the boat yesterday morning. Visited a wood stork colony. Wanted to share a few pics with you from this visit and a previous trip a couple weeks back.. There was some difficult lighting taking place with all the clouds. One second glorious light..the next total overcast darkness. ***resists urge to say bad things out loud to Mother Nature***. :scratch:thumb

Thanks for looking.

Well, Mike, I was beginning to wonder what happened to you! Let me just say, despite the flu, you have not lost your touch! These are great. I like them all, but especially the first, for the symmetrically fanned out wings, and the last, for the multitasking of the bird. Stay well. Best, Pam

Awesome set Mike!

Outstanding captures Mike.

I guess you're gonna want me to change your name to the "Woodstork Whisperer" now.

Super images, Mike. I love the wood storks. Less frame and more stork would improve these though.

Hi, Mike! This is is the first time I've seen your work and I think these images are truly nice. I'm not a photographer or anything, so I can't go over with the technicalities. All I can say is that you captured the wood stork in action pretty well. I especially like the first photo. Anyway, I hope you're doing alright now. Keep on posting!
