Grandpa



I spotted a Grandpa at Rookery Bay in Florida this year.  A.K.A. Wood Stork.  My in laws call them Grandpas.  And they should know.  They live in Florida.  I agree that they have a wise and grizzled old man quality!

To see more of my hummingbird photos visit my Liquid Diet post. Slurp.

And for more birds and maybe some Grandmas visit Wild Bird Wednesday

Great photo! I love how he looks against that blue, blue sky. You share photos of birds I've never seen in "real" life. Thank you.

Magnificent old bird. How do you know he's a grandpa? :-)

It may be a Grandpa - but it has a face only a mother could love!

That's a wonderful photo, Sharon.

How come I've got a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song stuck in my head now. You know the one..

"By the time we got to Wood Stork, we were half a million strong..." ;)

Grandpas are great! They look so prehistoric!
