I have never seen a Wood Stork rookery. The only ones I know of in South Carolina are not accessible. In Florida we were able to get to at least 2, maybe 3.

We were not so close as to bother the birds, in one I was surprised they didn’t care about us at all.

Having one fly low over your head is amazing, it happens to us often. It’s loud and you can hear the wind. At a rookery it’s several at the same time. Once or twice I ducked down they appeared so low.

A 6 foot (1.8 meter) wing span looks very large coming directly at you.
