With a wingspan around five feet (1.5 meters) the Wood Stork is neat to watch land.

This one was looking for sticks to take to his nest, but first he had to negotiate a touch down.

On the down beat you can see the green-black highlights in his wing.

He did successfully land but did not find any of these twigs to his liking and quickly moved on.

Indeed a spectacular landing 🙂
