They’ve been known to get aggressive because humans feed them. Humans, please don’t do that shit. But if you can just keep your distance and watch, they are fascinating, epecially the moms and babies. 💜

Their numbers have greatly decreased in Florida due to managed water control. They need naturally draining pools of concentrated food. 
“When the natural hydrologic cycle is upset by human-controlled water-management activities, Wood Storks fail to feed and nest successfully because a breeding pair of Wood Storks will not attempt to nest if sufficient food is not available. “

* Wood Storks have been known to fly as high as 6000 feet. They will fly as much as 50 miles in search of food.

* Wood Storks usually mate for life, they will build the nest together, and together incubate the eggs and feed the chicks. The chicks fledge in about two months. 

* Adult wood storks are voiceless and making only hissing sounds and bill clapping. 

* They reach a length of 35-45 inches with a wingspan of 60-65 inches.

* Its bill snaps shut with a 25-millisecond reflex action -- the fastest known for vertebrates -- whenever it touches prey. 

* A group of storks has many collective nouns, including "a clatter of storks", "a filth of storks", "a muster of storks", "a phalanx of storks", and a "swoop of storks."

The door side was wearing a lot faster than the back and we were going through tires to fast. So we knew it was time bite the bullet for a new axle.    The New Axle Axel replacement is something that is discussed in great detail over at a wonderful website/forum called Fiberglassrv.com. I highly recommend this group if you own or are thinking about owning a fiberglass camper. It’s a great group of people who are very knowledgeable! If…
