Wood-Stork Squabble
Uploaded: January 10, 2013 02:57:19
Wound up at the Ibis Colony behind the solid waste treatment plant in West Palm Yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised to see well over a hundred Wood-Storks all over the place. Looks as if they are making a Nice recovery from Threatened Status.
About a 100x that in White Ibis that were everywhere.
They Gators are already camping out and waiting on the unfortunate chicks that drop from nests.
