We live near a national bird sanctuary called Vedanthangel. January and February are the best months for viewing a wide variety of large water birds that winter in the area. Nesting residents of the sanctuary include the grey pelican, night heron, open bill stork, little cormorant, spoon bill, white ibis, and darter. We visited in the late afternoon and saw the birds come in to roost in the evening light. It was breathtaking.
The trees and bushes seemed to be growing right out of the water. Here a group of painted storks stay close to their nests.
These videos show painted storks in flight. I wish we had a better camera so you could see just how gorgeous they were in the late afternoon light.

Cool. Emma loved the videos. She would love to go there, she loves birds as much as dogs and cats!
