Stork video

It may be a little choppy (it's smoother on the camera), but it shows how he fishes.

Quality is excellent! Can you pm how you download to photobucket? I do have pics on there.

The video upload is the same as for photos, just takes FOR EVER! I think it took 20-30 minutes and I couldn't do anything else on the CP the whole time (except keep the screen saver from popping up). I've been trying for two weeks to upload it. :lol: You just have to look for the AVI file in your photo files.

Wish it were clearer as I couldn't see what he picked up. Must swallow them whole hey? What a long beak! Very cool! Is this near your home?

He's catching little fish. They are probably 3-5 inches long. I think the African storks eat carrion like the vultures (hence the ugly, bald head), but I had no idea they did this behavior. It's very cute!

I haven't met a bird yet, that I didn't enjoy watching. Even the gulls are fun to watch :D
