While we’re all waiting for my replacement kit lens to arrive after smooshing it last weekend, here are some wood storks and great egrets congregating in a pine tree near our home from early January. We generally see both species alone and on the ground, but the egrets have their flowing breeding plumage, so perhaps they were feeling more social.

Wood storks have such crusty, carved wax looking heads

I believe Mike had the camera for this one.
