Full Frame Wood Storks

Here are some more Wood Stork Photos from Brazoria NWR.  These are full frame shots without any cropping.  Having 700mm to work with instead of my old 100-400 has been very sweet.  These very large birds go through a lot of trouble for such a little meal, as seen in the last photo.

Taken with Canon 7D and Canon 500mm F4 IS II lens, with 1.4x III teleconverter hand-held out the car window.
