Observation details
1st year bird seen along the river near a slight bend between FM973 and TX-130. My first impression as I approached it from behind a tree branch was that it was a weird white ibis, but when it came into full view I realized it was an immature wood stork. White body, grubby dark head feathers, heavy bill, pale legs. I think the completely pale bill indicates a first year bird. I tried not to disturb it as I kayaked past, and it stayed put. I don’t think it was in a visible location from FM 973, but there is probably a chance of seeing it by boat. Here are the coordinates: (30.2072172, -97.6328685)
