During my recent visit to the Florida wetlands many birds were building and fortifying nests, and especially so the Wood Storks. They would leave the nest and fly to a special tree where they would break off branches and carry them back to weave into the nest.
I tracked some of the storks coming and going. One of them approached with a stick and flew right over my head to its nest on a little island behind me. I started firing burst shots as the bird approached, and of course it came so close that it couldn't fit in the frame as it went overhead. Second and third images are uncropped.
Z6II, Nikkor 200-500mm F/5.6, TC-14E III. 1/1600 sec, F/8. ISO 4500. It was early morning with low light, hence a high ISO.
