North MS 30 miles south of Oxford



Whooping crane? I’m at a loss.

I'd have to guess they aren't teal

I believe that’s right, but I believe they may be lost.

Storks. They’ll do this during a hurricane. It’s like they migrate north out of the storm.

Those are wood storks. I have only seen one in my life and it wasn’t in Mississippi.

Wood storks. See them all around south Louisiana. An ugly looking bird but a big bird. They generally hang out then move on.

Wood stork. They are all around our pond at times. We had one that would come up to our pool cage door and just stand there for 30 mins. Like he was begging to come it.

Ugly as hell

Was probably looking at his own reflection in the glass!

No glass. Just a screen. He was just standing there looking at us like the grim reaper.

It’s amazing that they apparently have no fear of people!

More importantly: how do they taste?

They seem to move around more in the fall. When I lived in middle Georgia we'd see them in the fall sometimes, but never any other time of the year.
