These large wading birds are a frequent resident of southern areas of the country. These paintings were made from photographs taken in Everglades National Park. Winter months are a great time in this Park to observe many types of wading birds both large and small. The green mark between this bird's beak and eyes denotes the breeding season. Their long necks can be twisted around easily for preening feathers and checking out the neighborhood! Wading through shallow waters, they forage for small fish upon which to dine.
