Swish, swish, turn…repeat…back and forth the Wood Storks go when they find a good feeding spot.
They stir up the food with their beaks and sometimes use their wings to create shadows in the water so they can see what is moving.
This trio stuck together for quite awhile and whenever one was the odd man out he quickly rejoined the other two.
Thanks Ellen! I enjoyed your photos and your observations of their behaviour. Brilliant!
Thanks, Liz. They are interesting birds to watch feed, more of a group effort than most other wading birds.
Beautiful clicks! Thanks for sharing.😊
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them.
