North America's only stork: Wood Stork
Funky "Hairdo"
Preening Pied-billed Grebe
The Latin genus name for "grebe" means "feet at the buttocks" - an apt descriptor for these birds, whose feet are indeed located near their rear ends.
A VERY widespread range
These guys are fairly poor fliers and typically stay on the water. We have rarely seen them in flight.
Adult Little Blue Heron still with a few white feathers from its youth (see the next image which shows the young on the left, transition feathering in the middle and an adult on the right)
Palm Warbler
The most common winter warbler in our area
Green Heron
These birds usually hunt by wading in shallow water, but occasionally they dive for deep-water prey and need to swim back to shore-probably with help from the webs between their middle and outer toes.
