Was talking with a couple of folks and he said he remembers always seeing a frog on a lily pad in the cartoons. Then he spotted this!!

Feeding time!

The adult Wood Stork was attacking these two little ones.

 

[Marilynne]

All the other Wood Storks just kept doing whatever they were doing.

 

[Marilynne]

Didn't stick around to see the outcome.

Nice colors!

Nice colors!

Thanks Jeff! I'm surprised it came out. It was so overcast yesterday morning.

The adult Wood Stork was attacking these two little ones.

What's this guy's problem?

I must say that your pictures always bring a smile. I don't know much about birds, but their colors, habits and purpose-built bills are fascinating. Your narratives are always helpful in more fully understanding what we're seeing. Thanks!
