OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

Earlier today I was gonna walk into the gas station when I see this bird, so I open my window to take a picture, as soon as I do he comes right up to my car, I was worried he was gonna jump in so I quickly closed it.

Wood Stork
First cousin of the ibis
 
I think the short porch in left field gave it away.



Then again, @OldTimer and @Halph66 might have recognized it from having spent a little time there back in their youth....
well, we did visit San Francisco many years ago and did voyage out to Alcatraz.....pretty spooky place if you've never been.

Nice find. I was wondering what it was.

I knew it was some type of ibis, but not typical. “Species of Florida Ibis” got me there…
I was going to say it looked like an Ibis also. Saw a lot of them whenever I went to Florida last year.
