A large, rather comical bird stands on an unseen tree limb. Its body is white and black, its legs and throat are pink, its head is orange, and its thick curved beak, which is open wide, is yellow. Its eye is trained on the viewer.
For @robcrank68.bsky.social’s #OpenBeak challenge, I give you this #PaintedStork screaming into the void. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

My choice for #FlyDay is this awkwardly beautiful #PaintedStork. I loved these ridiculous, stunning birds! #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Here are several different views of a #PaintedStork with #WideOpenWings for @alan678.bsky.social’s #BirdOfTheDay challenge. I thought this was such a beautiful bird! #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin
#RuffledFeathers, my #BirdoftheDay today. I thought birds move their wings in synch when they shake, but that's definitely not the case with this Painted Stork.

A stork flying over a dense jungle. The sky is hazy blue. The stork has a white body, long yellow beak, pink face, and metallic blue wings. The stork is photographed in profile with its slightly down curved bill, wide spread wings, and dangling legs.
A beautiful #PaintedStork for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongLegsAndNeck. I got this flyby shot while up in an observation tower at the #PrekToal bird sanctuary on the edge of Cambodia’s #TonléSap Lake.

Wrinkled face, orange-red cheeks, bold black-and-white feathers—the Painted Stork! 🦅 Brown ones? They're teenagers, not females! Adults look identical regardless of gender. What grabs your attention first?

Painted stork season!
#PaintedStork
Excited to share that I presented at the Behaviour 2025 Conference in Kolkata 🎓🕊️. My talk focused on nest site fidelity in painted storks, i.e. their tendency to return to and reuse nesting sites across seasons.

Not the most interesting image, but this was my first Painted Stork, and that was exciting. #bird #birds #paintedstork #stork #nature #photography
