Three Wood Stork chicks were standing around with adult supervision–sort of.

The chicks were in constant motion. The adult didn’t seem to move even a smidge.

A little bit closer view–you can see the feathers are developing in size and starting to get darker feathers along the wing edge.

The Great Egret chick in the background perked up, perhaps a parent was on its way with food.
