Wood Storks are gathering right on schedule. For the last 4 years these big birds have finally started nesting in places we can photograph.
This bird was just getting ready to land in a wooded area. It takes some effort for them to slam on the breaks.

Often my nemesis bird for the year, but lucked out last year and found a group of them in a small neighborhood pond outside of Gainesville – they need to stop hanging around Great Egrets, it just makes them look uglier ha.
I saw about 100 nests two days ago. Amazing. And not that long ago they were thought to be almost extinct here.
