Hi All!

Just returned from a trip that included a one day stop in Costa Rica. While there, I took a two hour long cruise in the mangroves near the Tarcoles River where we spotted this Wood Stork. This was my first real opportunity to see and photograph birds like these. I also was lucky enough to see a pair of Scarlet Macaws, although I was not able to capture any pictures as stunning as Durwood's from Belize.

Needless to say, my wife and I plan to return next year for a longer stay.

Jim

Hi Marie!

Yeah, I think it is that naked head . . . kinda makes it look like a vulture. Not at all like the stork that brings the Vlassic pickles.
