These rather large birds live here in Florida year round. They are seldom seen alone as they mate for life and usually appear in male/female pairs. Juveniles will accompany their parents until they mate up. Their true gracefulness is apparent when you catch them in flight. Lovely shots Bob... :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge:
