"Hey Baby" gives voice to the surreal effect generated by the flight path of this wood stork against a first light sky that made me feel I was under the watchful eye of a goddess or movie star like Bettie Davis. Every year, these birds, along with a broad spectrum of species (like egrets, herons and ducks), return to Florida waterways to breed and raise their young, who soon follow in their migratory paths.
This photograph was taken at the end of March 2021 when I too returned to the Wakodahatchee Preserve in Delray, Florida having missed my semiannual photoexpeditions to central Florida in 2020.
This was chosen for its debut at the Gallery House, "Going Places," in honor of the birds who migrate every year and the conservationists who work to preserve their habitat.
