This is a ‘bird nerd’ thing but…
Wood Storks look to have black wing feathers, however if you look closely here you will see the iridescent green coloring.
Most photographs don’t catch this subtle shading unless the light and angle are right.

πππ, much thanks.
Nicely done!
Thanks ππ. I had a long series of her going by, however only this one caught the true color. Just standing and watching, no camera, you rarely see the green shading.
Apparently always too busy cringing at the profile of the head to notice the true coloring on the wings. Every day I learn something new.
All about getting the right light. Doesn’t happen often. I’m lucky we live in a place that has them year round, so I have a better chance than most to catch it.
