We are still on our trip to Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonland, Capital Reef, and whatever else we can fit in.
In the meantime, here is another of my favorite wood storks:

Cool behavior and a beautiful job on the exposure and focus, Sandy. Superb detail in the white plumage.

I love this behavior, and the exposure is wonderful.

Beautiful shot. Excellent detail and nice contrast between the whites and blacks.

Wonderful poses and detail in the whites on this Sandy. To me the sky seems a bit dark and needs some noise reduction. I'm not sure what would happen to the whites if you brightened the whole frame so maybe you can just select the sky and lighten it some and run NR. Nice interaction.
