Dropping almost in slow-motion a Wood Stork flew in, holding that awkward looking position all the way down.
The center of the pond is choked with marsh grass and cattails beyond the canal.
Fortunately for me the Stork skipped the canal, and had his sights on an open area.
He joined in feeding before his wings were even folded.
Looks like they are enjoying the sunny January day
They do seem to eat more vigorously when the sun is out!
Love that first shot, Ellen! 🤗
Thanks — pretty funny with the feet and toes at the ready 😁.
