As the wading birds from the feeding frenzy lifted lifted into the air some of them left, either individually or in groups.
A group of Wood Storks pulled away from the frenzied group and formed into a ragged line.
These storks circled and got a little higher then took off for a distant section of the marsh. They were soon replaced by another group that somehow got the word the fishing was good here.
Love these images, Ellen, especially the final shot against the sky. Marvelous. š
Thanks, Jane! It was all happening so fast it was hard to know where to look. Those Wood Storks moved to a great position from my angle one they got going.
