A Wood Stork is flying with nesting material in its mouth. It takes the twigs to build a large stick nest in a tree. The nest is built by the male. Greenery is added to the nest to help insulate the nest. With blue skies this photo spotlights the wood stork with the black edges of its wings. The horizontal photo is large, measuring 20" long and 16" high.

Sad, 1/3 of wood stork babies never fledge - they die before they leave the nest.
