THE WOOD STORKS OF ST. AUGUSTINE
Just imagine a diaper and baby in the bill of this stork, and we'd probably never have kids.
Is this the one legends or myths are made of?
They sure don't look very pretty or graceful as some of the other long legged wading birds.
Unlike most of the other wading birds, storks prefer to soar in flight.
The storks seem to prefer the top of the largest tree in which to nest.
Even the young of the year seem to be ungainly.
I guess it is the grizzled neck and large bill that makes these very large birds so different. They are the wood storks.
The seem to want to lord it over the rest of the birds seeking the highest branches to preen and nest.
When they arrive, there certainly is a new sheriff in town!
