I'm not sure about the identity of this wading bird, but I loved the long, multi-colored beak. It smoothly and slowly made its way through the water, more or less oblivious to my presence. I made this photo from the front seat of my car while returning home from a meeting in Corpus Christi.
It's now day 16 of the project, but day five is when the birds first came forth:
"And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.' So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.' And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day." (Gen 1:20-23 NRSV)
