American Wood Stork
These birds have been known to fly as high as 6,000 feet.
They often fly up to 50 miles a day in search of food.
In Florida, they prefer to breed during the late winter dry season when their fish prey are concentrated in shrinking pools.
They are tactile feeders and when their bill comes in contact with a prey item it snaps shut with one of the fastest reactions in the entire animal kingdom.
