Paynes Prairie

February 20, 2014  •  1 Comment

One of the great pleasures of visiting Paynes Prairie is that you never know what you are going to see.  When the water level is just right, the resident Wood Storks come to Alachua Sink to forage for food. On this day, the basin at Alachua Sink was full of Wood Storks feeding away.  Of course, they have to share the space with the ever-present alligators.  I watched nervously as this guy rounded the clump of grass…fortunately the gator was not interested.  

If you like Wood Storks and think they are funny and engaging, check out the Wood Stork Gallery.
