Help Us Identify A Strange Bird

Karen Wrote:

Greetings from Waterloo, Ontario!

My parents have just called from a > town called Rotunda, on the south-central gulf coast of Florida. They have had several "visitors" over the past few days, including a heron and several egrets.

They also have a strange looking bird that is mystifying them! It is 24-36inches tall, snowy white body with black under wings and a very small and ugly) grey-brown head with a black mark running across (looks like earmuffs!). The description is from my mom, as I haven't actually seen it!

Do you any idea what it is?

Thank you!

I believe what your folks are seeing is our famous Wood Stork.
