wood stork

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first "keeper" shot with my then new Canon Rebel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The wood stork is largest wading bird found in North America.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bird is almost all white except for his "flint head" and upper neck.

He also has black flight feathers.

The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America.
