There were several glossy ibis flying over the rookery in late March. I’m not sure if they were nesting yet since they nest in the far back hidden part of the rookery. The color of their feathers really popped against the sun as they flew by.
Tricolored herons were still flirting. They nest later than the great egrets and wood storks.

Yes, that’s an almost grown cormorant with his entire face down his Dad’s throat. He was trying to get the fish that Dad was regurgitating for him. I think he still wanted more.

There were so many wood stork babies here.
That fish was way to big for the baby to swallow. The parent realized that pretty quickly and didn’t want it to go to waste so down the hatch it went.
Awesome captures of the Glossy Ibis! I love the rookery images, the Wood Storks are a favorite. Pretty photos and post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend!
I love those cute baby storks and the Glossy Ibis. I haven’t seen in Glossy Ibis here so I’ll be on the look out now! Enjoy your weekend. (rain here this morning)
Wow! These are some really nice photos.
Your excellent series of photographs illustrate why a rookery to photographer is like a kid in a candy store!
So much activity!
