Storks?

No.
Herons.
Aren't they?

You lucky one!
To be capturing a heron like this!!!
I particularly like the one of the heron basking in the sun!!!

ditto Lafoto, they're herons and very reclusive birds. I once spent a whole day trying to get a decent shot of them but had no joy.

Great captures, the second one does it for me...

Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for setting me straight.

I like the second pic. Its cool how it spreads its wings.

very cool shots!

the first one is a Great Blue Heron, and the second is a Cormorant, but I am not sure what type., there are about 8 different types of Cormorants in North America.. (I think)
