A Wood Stork

in #nature7 years ago

Look at this video I got of a Wood Stork at The Celery Fields in Sarasota, Florida. The Wood Stork is a funny looking bird. It's head doesn't have any feathers and gives it an old man sort of look. In this video you can see it's feeding habits. It uses it's feet to stir up the mud to flush the small fish, it then grabs them with it's large bill. These birds are very common around The Celery Fields and are here year round.

They are funny looking, don't you think? They look like old men. When they are juveniles, they do have some feathers on their head and some yellow in their bill.

You can see when they stretch out their wings, they have black on the edges.

 I am an award winning photographer and filmmaker. Many of my pictures have been used in TV Shows and Feature Films, such as "Zero Dark Thirty", "NCIS Los Angeles", "Scandal", "Blackish" and "The Walking Dead".

All my pictures are from one capture and nothing is computer generated, except where noted. Then it is only an inversion or an increase in saturation only, not a change to the actual content of the picture.

I hope you find my pictures unusual, creative and in some cases inspiring. Everyone sees something different in my pictures. Enjoy!
