Hi all,
recently I saw a photo of wood stork taken by one of our member. As I remember, his photo was considered as best bird photo and was published at the front cover of a magazine. I liked that photo a lot. However, his photo reminded me of my visit to Florida 2 years ago. I had taken this birds photo at the Gaterland, Fl. I thought I might shares these with our fellow members.
Thanks,
Mohammed Mubashir

For quite a while I was confused by the stork (who is not a scavenger) not having any feathers on its head. That is until I went to Big Cypress last week, while most water birds of this type have a long beak and long legs to grab fish and other food from the water, the wood stork completely submerges his head and uses it to stir up the sediment in search of food. It comes up with its head covered in mud, this would present a problem with feathers there so as a result they are bald. Just goes to show that you are never too old to learn something.
