Up and out early this morning to search for the perfect blip foto (click on the blipfoto widget in the righthand column) for this last day of the year. Always have a stash of stale bread (mostly bread crusts the grandkids simply won't eat...) so took that stash along. I was delighted by the magnificent Wood Stork who appeared. He disdained the taste of the bread after one tiny peck, but continued to linger close by and 'pose' for a few photos while he fished for a breakfast more to his liking. These were taken looking down from the second floor balcony just outside my apartment. He's a beauty! As is the one Glossy Ibis..... As always, click on a photo to get a larger view.
