23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Portrait of wood stork
The wood stork (Mycteria americana) is not the most common bird at Cassino Beach (Southern Brazil), but it can be found from time to time. This one was captured late summer 2023 in a small, non-permanent creek, that runs into the Atlantic Ocean. Its reflection on the water made up for a nice portrait.
