No not that stork. <g>  This one….

It came swooping across the valley out of nowhere the other night, alone this time. Once before we saw a pair lift from the pond together and cross the meadow out of sight, but this one was alone.  My camera was on manual and not prepared in the least for midflight shots so I only caught a white blur as it sped by.  But when it landed on the neighbors' barn I was able to capture these two before it disappeared again.
