Mycteria americana and Egretta thula
The Wood Stork appears all white on the ground, with blackish-gray legs and pink feet. In flight, the trailing edge of the wings is black. The head is dark brown with a bald, black face that only its mother can like, and the thick downcurved bill is dusky yellow. The Snowy Egret has all white plumage; black bill, legs; yellow feet. Base of bill is yellow but turns red in breeding season.
