George Held told me that he never saw a wood stork in person. Did he ever see one deliver a baby? This time of year they start appearing in large numbers in Southwest Fla.
A couple of years ago, an entourage of them visited my backyard in Tropicana Co-op in Ft. Myers. It reminded me of a Rotary meeting. (photo below)
I love wood storks. They seem like important gentlemen. Their beaks are long and curved and they stand erect.
Anyhow, George, here is a photo from that event:
