Another one of my Wood Stork family from the Jacksonville Zoo Rookery. You can see that it really does "take a village"!

Well done - I'm always amazed that those high branches can hold the weight of several big birds like this! And BTW, in a pinch, look for flowers in home stores like Home Depot and Lowe's - the ones around here always have been good about letting me take photos. #1498501Rony Sagy November 15, 2012
