Wood Stork and Crew!

In today’s other post about finding Crested Caracaras, I mentioned it was the third time I had gone in search of this particular kind of tropical falcon. Although my second attempt was a failure in terms of finding any Caracaras, I found a small flock of birds whose face only a mother could love, Wood Storks (Cornell link). Although the storks were not delivering any New Year’s babies, I found that quite a few other wading birds hung out with the Wood Storks. In the photographs below see if you can find their buddies … which include Great Egrets, Little Blue Herons, Tri-Colored Herons, and White Ibises. Apparently it was a family affair, or at least cousins were invited!

  1. These wood storks are fascinating. I wonder what advantage the featherless head gives them. I’m enjoying your Florida trip; thanks for sharing.
