Three Wood Stork nests had chicks visible from the board walk at Cypress Wetlands last week. The chicks, maybe three or four in each nest, alternated between laying down and constant motion.

Truly a marvel, this rookery hosted a few Wood Stork nests last year for the first time. This year there are many more and it is a joy to see them reproduce successfully.

Cute or ugly, they made me smile.
