You said prehistoric, and I thought Wood Stork. I was right. Great shot. That is the best way to describe them.

I thought Great Blue, they remind me of Pteradactyls. Never seen this ugly soul though. If I had, I might change my mind. :)

Indeed and a great pose and well exectued shot. The Wood Stork and the Pileated (sp?) Woodpecker are about the most prehistoric looking birds on the planet.
