About These Birds
Wood Stork
83–115 cm, wingspan 140–180 cm. White body; naked dark grey head; heavy yellowish decurved bill. Only stork breeding in North America; resident from southeastern USA to Argentina. Feeds on fish using tactile bill-snapping in shallow water. Threatens by wetland drainage; nests colonially.
Mandschurenstorch
Der Mandschurenstorch ist eine der am stärksten gefährdeten Storchenarten; in freier Wildbahn leben noch weniger als 3.000 Individuen. Einst war er in ganz Ostasien weit verbreitet, ging jedoch durch die Trockenlegung von Feuchtgebieten und den Einsatz von Pestiziden dramatisch zurück. Wiederansiedlungsprogramme in Japan und Korea konnten bemerkenswerte Erfolge erzielen.
