I like the first shot–the way you got the egret, too. Great capture!

Wren: Love the shot with the little heron framed by the stork. Those little alligators are also cute.

never seen that one before. Interesting shape of the head.

Very impressive! It’s good they get along so well with the alligators. :)

Fabulous series Wren! My favorite is the first shot with the Wood Stork framing the Great Egret.

Wow I was impressed by the first shots, but when I saw the last one I was stunned. That’s indeed a very brave bird!

Very nice sense of narrative to these shots, very strange looking head too!

Great photos – but what a strange looking head that bird has. I didn’t know that storks looked like that.

I love the twist in the tale in that last shot: the crocs around the stork’s feet.

Brilliant photos!
