Close-up of a wood stork The wood stork was removed from the endangered list in June of 2014 but is still a threatened species. I wanted to show the detail of the face/plumage demonstrating the reason they were named wood stork which is due to the bark-like appearance of their head. They are always difficult to shoot with detail because of the white plummet and dark head, but I succeeded in my goal here.
