Taking a break from his nest building activities this Wood Stork might have thought he found a peaceful spot.

Ignoring the kerfuffle he got a drink…

Then another…

Maybe too much, interesting that he didn’t tip his head all the way back to swallow, at least this time.

The bigger scene:

There were a few White Ibis patrolling the area, too.
