I saw my first Wood storks flying overhead when I was in Florida for my brother’s wedding.

I was at Universal Orlando; it was getting on toward twilight, and there were a several of them. They were so huge! and so remarkable! and I didn’t have my binoculars! But I was still just so utterly astonished because that was the only thing those huge amazing birds could possibly have been.

The sketch is from the photo by Alex Hopping that’s in the Merlin app.
