Last week we saw this wood stork hunting for fish in the salt marsh among the oyster beds.

However woody was not the only one hunting in the marsh, an alligator was also lurking in the same area with hopes of acquiring a meal.

The wood stork was aware of the alligator’s presence and knew it was in no real danger, even turning it’s back on the gator at one point. This alligator would be extremely unlikely to bother a bird like a wood stork and it was actually  after the same thing as woody, fresh fish for dinner!
