Beautiful capture. Great pose and setting.
I think everything is messed up due to global weather. Our Scott's Orioles came back WAY
early.

Wonderful image announcing the end of winter. V
Guest 12-Mar-2013 19:21
What a great capture. I see that it has a band on the leg, is this for
attaining information and tracking in the wild?
Tom Munson12-Mar-2013 19:07
Beautiful image Tom, sharp and wexposed perfect!
Helen Betts12-Mar-2013 18:30
Super capture of this stork -- light, color, detail, all excellent. Seems like it wasn't all that long ago that they were in Hungary; amazing how time (and storks) flies! V.

Superb clarity, great composition, but I wouldn't want to be up there in this cold wind.
SRW12-Mar-2013 14:35
Simply wonderful... -- especially against that sky....
Esa Ervasti12-Mar-2013 13:56

A beautiful photo with such nice details and lighting. That blue sky provides a wonderful contrast. "V"
rocky12-Mar-2013 13:22
An excellent capture of this regal bird. Winter can't seem to shake its grip here, either. Such a big nest! Perhaps for many little chicks. =V=
Guest 12-Mar-2013 13:06
Light, DOF, details are all perfect Tom, beautifully captured! V

He seems content to have this great portrait with beautifully clear blue sky, Tom! V
Looks a symbol of spring to us, it is still winter to this chap!
We only have rainny and humid winter but not this year.
Isabel Cutler12-Mar-2013 11:43
Beautiful capture. I've been noticing some nest building activity among the smaller birds here - but we've had some days that have been the coldest all winter. Weather is crazy!
LynnH12-Mar-2013 11:01
Hopefully this was winter's last blast and the Storks can settle down for the season.
Buba Jafarli12-Mar-2013 10:25
One of the most beautiful signs of springs... Love this capture! V.
Graeme12-Mar-2013 10:18

Guest 12-Mar-2013 09:36
Maybe they have an early run of babies to deliver.
Linda & Pär Johansson12-Mar-2013 09:29
IGreat shot! Imagine having storks so close I have only seen them in pictures! I hope spring comes soon! V
Yvonne12-Mar-2013 09:22
Quite a large nest too, great shot Tom, I always wondered what a stork looked like! v
Mike H.12-Mar-2013 09:16
Looks like it's been busy too. Hope Mom Nature is not going to be too mean now...
Great shot, Tom!
Alain Boussac12-Mar-2013 09:10
