Observation details
Count of 45 is a minimum. There might have been 75+. Observed 2 large ragged Vs of Wood Storks with a 3rd kettle of mixed (2 ibis types plus others and this 3rd group I did not count any as it had moved out of view by the time I turned car around and parked on S side looking NE). The smaller of the 2 V-flocks of WOST was just leaving the area and photos show 23 in this group. Light winds from the N and NW at this time which is unusual for TX Gulf region. Two photos with one showing a total of 23 WOST in the smaller V (missed getting a shot of the larger V) and 1 poor photo blownup that confirms these are storks and not ibis or pelicans.
