Morning Meal

Wood stork fishing in the salt marsh first thing in the morning comes up with a nice fish for breakfast! Considering they are very large birds, wood storks seem to most often catch and eat tiny fish and various small marine crustaceans. So it was interesting to see what our pal Woody snagged from the marsh on his early hunt.

Beautiful details and reflection. You don’t often see wood storks with fish like you do with the other birds.

Great shot! It’s good to see the woodies back at the park again. How many were there?

I love that face and beak as well as the fish reflection in the water. Nothing like fish in the morning.

  Woody enjoys a morning fish much more then I would. I’m lucky to choke down my coffee every morning.
  I’m glad you liked seeing our oddly appearing wood stork.
