Painted Stork - a photo on Flickriver

Painted Stork

            A close look at a Painted Stork. This large stork has a heavy yellow beak with a down-curved tip that gives it a resemblance to an ibis. The head of the adult is bare and orange or reddish in colour. The long tertials are tipped in bright pink and at rest they extend over the back and rump. There is a distinctive black breast band with white scaly markings. The band continues into the underwing coverts and the white tips of the black coverts give it the appearance of white stripes running across the underwing lining. Painted Storks breed on trees either in mixed colonies along with other water birds, or by themselves. The platform nests are typically placed in a tree on an island or in an otherwise undisturbed area with colonies consisting of thousands of nests like at Keoladeo-Ghana National Park in Rajasthan, India. In some areas where they have been left undisturbed they nest very close to human habitations.
