Wood Storks can carry large and heavy loads due to their large 66 inch wing spans. Which makes that branch it is carrying at least that long or even longer.
Exposure on birds in flight are manual and based on a meter reading of green grass or tree foliage, I then usually stop down 2 stops for a white bird. If I had shot in Auto, my meter would have read the sky and stopped down so far the Wood Stork would have been too dark.

Nice shot and thanks for the info.
I imagine “the exchange” was a bit tricky with this piece of lumber!

Funny you mention that. If the area for the nest is small, it presents a logistics nightmare sometimes.
It is very interesting watching the couple twist and shape the pieces together.
Also interesting that most birds bring in young branches that can twist and turn, much easier than older stiffer branches.
