Description
This is an adult wood stork. I do not know who was more shocked, the stock, when he stood up in the reeds, right next to me, or me when I turned around and there he was. They are about 40 inches (102cm) tall and with an impressive wing span of 61 inches (155cm). They do have black flight feathers on the wing tips and tail. The hunchback pose is normal and they are on the "almost" endangered list. Taken at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, February 19th.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a peak and for all your previous comments and favs.

Nice capture! I have found myself surprised by the birds that find me....rather than the other way around!
Awe I can't just stalk this. Really great photo. Awesome shot!
Great capture. Maybe he wanted his picture taken.

How thrilling to turn and see this as you did. I like the spontaneity here and the details I can find in it as well.
wow--very, very cool!!

What an amazing bird! I love the lines of his anatomy...he seems like he'd tip forward with that beak! I love the jarring contrast between his feathers and the reeds around him. This is great work.
Great capture...

Very pretty plumage and look at those long legs!
Wonderful capture! Looks like he's on the hunt.

Did he stay there or did you get to see him fly off??? Not the prettiest of birds, apologies to the wood stock!!!!!
