My first trip to SV. Rode the tram with my wife and grabbed a few shots along the way.

Wonderful Woody!!!

Len, A wonderful capture indeed, Excellent exposure and detail, the OOF BG grasses is a plus, But I rarely if ever do the tram around the park, the few times I have done it it has been a bust, the tram rarely stops and barely slows down enough to capture good shots, In this case you came out with a jewel, The other alternative is on a bicycle, I would have to have a pull cart attach to the bike to be able to put the photo equipment in it, and God forbid you get caught in a thunder storm, there is no place where to hide!! Congrats, Well done!!! 8)

I don't recall seeing a flight shot of a Wood Stork before. Great exposure and wing position. This is outstanding!!

The head appears a little soft on my monitor, but that's a minor nit at worst. Great shot of a Woody. I love the back facing the camera.
