This deuterostome was observed on October 22, 2019 at 5:44 PM in a pond in Lakeland, Florida. The weather at the time was hot and humid. It most likely belongs to Genus Eudocimus and I am assuming it is an Eudocimus album due to its white body, long orange beak, long orange legs, and the swampy habitat it is in. I was unable to see any reproductive structures. Geolocation: Lat. 27.996 Long. -81.995 Acc. 5 m. (Source: https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Eudocimus_albus/ )
