About These Birds
Painted Stork
93–102 cm, wingspan 150–160 cm. White body with black flight feathers; naked orange-red face; yellow bill. Named for pinkish wash on back and wings. Resident South and Southeast Asia in wetlands and rice paddies. Near Threatened; feeds on fish and frogs. Breeds colonially; large mixed-species heronries.
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.
