I find a unique beauty to this unusual, prehistoric-looking bird, the Wood Stork.

Not sure what the commotion was in the water, but there was a sudden, quick take-off while foraging.

Maybe it was the alligator I had spotted here earlier, who seemed to be eyeing a Snowy Egret at that time.

No worries for the little egret, I watched that scene play out, the Snowy walked away safely. 🙂
