Friends





A Wood Stork and an Anhinga share the same lamp post at Lake Toho, Kissimmee, Florida.

Wood head with a something on his leg and the other is going to bite him!
Too funny :)

Hello Beantown,
Wow! Great pictures with quite impressive birds!
Thanks to you I just discovered two species I have never heard before (even in French!). I looked up in Wiki, and they mention that the Wood Stork is an endangered population in Florida. And the cormorant-like Anhinga is sometimes called Snakebird because of its swimming style :-(
Do you think they are really friends? The wood Storck doesn't seem too friendly ;-0
Have a great day,
Dorothee

Oh my God George - what fantastic captures of the nuances of nature! That first photo is absolutely priceless. Actually the whole series is.

Coca Cutie: That was my exact impression when I first spotted the birds on the lamp, lol.

Dorothee: I've been learning a lot about birds too. I think the Anhinga wanted the Wood Stork to get off his lamp, lol.

Janice: Thank you so much!!
