Description

This wood stork is in flight for an important reason! He's in the process of building a nest for the babies that are coming. I took this photograph from The Alligator Farm Zoological Park in St. Augustine, Florida. I highly recommend a visit to the Alligator Farm! When you visit during the spring months you will see many native herons, egrets, ibis, spoonbills and wood storks that come to roost and raise their young. They build their nests in the oak trees that are in the midst of the Alligator Swamp and thereby are protected from tree-climbing predators that would want to attack the young or eat the eggs. The wooden walkway allows for amazing close up views of Florida"s magnificent wading birds on their nests. The website boasts that " Photographers achieve award-winning shots here every year. From March through June you will see the most nesting activity with the birds in full breeding plumage."
