stork

A white stork flying with nesting material.

These giant birds are capable of lifting some serious branches...late winter is time for these storks to nest and breed, so there is a lot of flying back and forth with sticks and branches to build their nests.

Usually in Malaysia I see it from March - July. Migratory bird.

One local wetlands here in Florida is inundated this time of year, starting in mid-January, with wood storks who gather in the hundreds to build nests and breed. Some tree islands of 2400 sq. feet in size will host as many as 25 nesting pairs of wood stork...along with a dozen anhinga nests...

Found in the southeastern U.S., mostly Florida, this is a large stork, heavy body, and big bald head. They nest starting in January and a favorite rookery spot in my area is Wakodahatchee Wetlands - this time of year, there are upwards of 150-200 nesting pairs in just a square mile or so.
