This was taken about 10 days ago while out in the ACE Basin. I have a series of images of this stork still to be processed.
He was acting the typical aloof Wood Stork even at this young age. That attitude is perfect for a portrait.

This is a scheduled post in case hurricane Ian locks me down for a few days.
What a face! I hope you and Ellen are keeping safe.
Storm passed a little north of us. Thanks, now a little cleanup.
I’m glad to hear that!
