Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy
Photographed in Sun City Center, FL.
Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) Wood storks are tall, white wading birds of freshwater or brackish wetlands and swamps. They can be identified by their long legs, featherless heads, pink feet and prominent bills. These waders feed on minnows in shallow water by using their bills to perform a rare and effective fishing technique. The stork opens its bill and sticks it into the water, then waits for the touch of an unfortunate fish that wanders too close. When it feels a fish, the stork can snap its bill shut in as little as 25 milliseconds—an incredibly quick reaction time matched by few other vertebrates.
Like many Florida birds associated with wetlands, the Wood Stork has suffered from the destruction and degradation of our state’s wetlands. Today, the Wood Stork is classed “Threatened” by the State of Florida and the federal government.
