Here is the only native (North) American stork, the Wood Stork.
Southwest Florida, Gulf Coast... day before Thanksgiving, and likely thankful not to be a turkey.

Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbills, and Snowy Egret
Sadly, my childhood 'til now favorite spot in the world for birds, is now being demolished ( Thanks, #DeathSantis )
The Weir @ Myakka SP is no more, displacing a plethora of year-round birds such as these.
Happy to have found this new (but small) little pond where the cool birds have gathered now, but don't know what will be, longer-term.

The only stork found in North America (endangered). Unique appearance. Hairless, s/he seems to be peering out from a wooden mask.
Pardon the whimsy but it's that time of year when stories abound about all sorts of creatures, mythological and not, from the woodlands. And so:
