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!
Very nice, Mark. You seem to be a natural at photography.
Thanks, are you still in the PH?
Looks like an old man? Looks more like a young Egyptian prince in the Nile. "Everyone sees something different in my pictures" is true!

Very celever, using feet to dig the mud.

Wonderful video.
Thanks for sharing it
Amazing color on that Wood Stork. I wonder if they call them "wood stork" because their head and bill looks like wood.
Another great video @markvance! It looks like it's part turkey or something :)
I like its hunting technique and it seems to be quite efficient. Reminds me a bit of the Killdeer and how it does a similar foot stomping to stir up dinner :) albeit on land.
It is interesting how much black is on the wings, yet very little is seen when the wings are retracted. Thanks for sharing!
very nice upvote
