What a mesmerizing experience watching Wood Storks transport nesting materials.
It's hard to imagine these gigantic gangly creatures flying through the air.
Their nesting period in SC occurs from March to May with fledglings appearing in July. 💕

Snowy Egrets being territorial.
What a tussle between a breeding male and younger male!
I felt like I was watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
Don't worry, they both got a piece of property by the end.

Here's another breeding plumage star- the Great Egret.
While in this phase, they grow long plumes on their back and part of their face turns this beautiful green.

An Anhinga in breeding plumage is a work of art! 🖼️
They stay in this startling plumage only for their breeding season, which is around March until May.
Check out those feet as well! 💕

I was greeted by this beautiful female Hairy Woodpecker on my 1st day of vacation.
She was seen in Wells, Maine.

Our adorable juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker is driving his poppa crazy!
I love how he follows him around calling out what might be, "Feed me!"

I love that this male Red-breasted Merganser is one of our neighbors in the winter. 🥰
