We have 3 wood storks visiting our lakefront tonight. There are a lot of interesting sightings but hard to capture pics of them at the moment (I don't usually have my phone on me). Once we saw the fox running around the lake while we were fishing at dusk. Another morning there were these little birds with long skinny legs, maybe ibises, and tiny little babies with them. It was a big flock of them, maybe 20. Then, the other morning, I saw the gator approach our fishing spot. It was after a school of fish splashing in the very shallow waters of the edge of the lakefront. You could see everything of the gator: head, body and tail because the water is so, so shallow. I missed his attack trying to get my phone to take a pic of how big he was. He was already swimming away.
