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.
Oriental Stork
The oriental stork is one of the most endangered stork species, with fewer than 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. It was once widespread across East Asia but declined dramatically due to wetland drainage and pesticide use. Reintroduction programs in Japan and Korea have achieved notable success.
