Ciconiiformes Because they are inherently photogenic, large, and sometimes relatively approachable, these stately birds are a favorite subject of dedicated bird
photographers and casual snapshooters. Not all species that occur at the refuge are covered below; I have seen roseate spoonbills and the night
herons only one or two times each in the 12 years I've been visiting Woodruff, so they're not often present and extremely unlikely to be
encountered. [eng]
