Viewed on a large screen it is amazing the number of birds taking to the air. I don’t think any one things caused this. One jumps up and the next thing you know a thousand birds are swirling and squawking.

Seeing this in person is something you never forget.
As I write this it occurs to me I have a full day of Wood Storks, just like this. When we get busy photos get saved end of day and we are up and out the next. Things fall through the cracks.
Such an absolutely riveting photo!
When young I remember seeing scenes like this on TV, nature shows. What is amazing is the thousands of birds, at the same time. Each day it seemed a different type of bird came as a flock. Storks one day, Spoonbills the next, an awesome display. I grew up a NYC kid, now I do this… astounding.
You are so lucky! Thanks for sharing the photo.
Absolutely stunning photo! And it’s very difficult to take this photograph!
Thank you. I shots a bunch before and after 😀😀😀
Great capture!
Thanks 😀😀
Amazing! Wish you could send a few our way😏
Most are gone from here now too. Went deeper n the marshes or heading south. However, we always have enough to get through the winter. 😀
