Yep, he is. They are always around. My dogs don’t even bother chasing them. They are very friendly. Neat having them here. We got everything. Eagles, osprey, heron, cranes....you name it. Lake Griffin state park right there across the canal.

Juvenile Storks, the little bit of black when they open their wings. Pretty good in a gravy also. Taste like chicken.

Interesting ....are they edible ? Inquiring minds thing....lol

Some of them there beaky birds will do that you know ....lol

Pretty cool Ed. :cool: I go down to Okeechobee every year fishing with my uncle & cleaning the fish every day turns into a bird circus. I'm not sure what species they all are but we will be completely surrounded by birds of all sizes. Some of them at least 4 ft. tall. So cool to see the different species. As long as you don't make sudden moves they will be right next to us. Makes the job cleaning fish much more enjoyable. That doesn't happen in Kentucky. :biggrin

I worked and lived in Okeechobee for a year and loved watching the wildlife. My job was actually to sit on an airboat and spray lake weeds. Got to see all kinds of cool stuff down there that you just won't get a chance to see in Alabama. The birds were some of my favorites. Sandhill cranes strutting around in the front yard. Alligators in the backyard. Gigantic frogs hopping around. Armored catfish wallowing our holes in mud banks. We really had to watch out for snail kites. We had coordinates in our GPS that had known Snail kite nests and under no circumstances were we allowed to go anywhere near them.

Cool birds!!

Don't know why those Snail Kites are so endangered, there certainly seems to be a ton of apple snails for them to eat everywhere down here.

So did you have a smoked ibis for thanksgiving ? Or deep fried ? Or just oven baked ? Ketchn wonders these things :Rofl

We don't eat the pets. They are so funny. They root around in the sandy soil here for grubs and worms. We really enjoy them and the rest of the wild life here.

They look like Sea Gulls with long beaks
