To have gone so long without getting any closeup photos of a Wood Stork, I’ve had a second chance in as many days to get more pics! This one was sitting in the top of a tree at Ding early this morning.
When you are the top dog . . . uh, top bird.
Hahaha! I laugh at those who stand below me!
Time to go . . . see ya later!
The photo below shows exactly where the Wood Stork gets its name!
Look at the difference in the size of the White Pelicans and the Reddish Egret below. The Reddish Egret almost gets lost! (Bottom left)
This female Anhinga landed right above our heads and then posed.
Unfortunately, this last photo is sad news. It appears that the eagle nest we were watching did not produce a viable egg. There was an eagle constantly nesting through the holidays, but It has been empty for a couple of weeks now. Fingers crossed for next year.
