Nice! It’s funny but I don’t often see images of these birds in flight.

Thanks! In my experience with them, they're usually in shallow water hunting 98% of the time. If you wait long enough you might see them fly away to a different spot nearby. I don't recall ever seeing them flying long distances. They stick seem to choose a favorite area and stick to it, so I don't have many shots of them in flight.
