WOOD STORK

THIS POST IS LINKED TO WORLD BIRD WEDNESDAY and WATERY WEDNESDAY.   Go click on the links!!!

These are two of the birds we spotted on the Darling Refuge Wildlife Drive Sunday. 

Wood Stork:  A separate family from any of our other birds, he is definitely not the benign-looking baby bringer of myth.  (This one would give babies terrible nightmares I fear!)

 .    

Great Egret:  Looks as if he's admiring his reflection, but really waiting for lunch to appear.

We saw a ton of other birds on the Kayak Trail, but my pictures didn't turn out well.  It was hard to concentrate on kayaking, keeping the camera dry and not going aground — the water was very shallow.  We'll try again another time.
