Field Notes

Description:

Asian openbills feed on aquatic insects, and the unusual shape of the bill is specially adapted to feeding on large snails.

Notes:

One of many Storks that visit the Banana Plantation behind my house and feed in the water channels. The sad thing is the plantation is slowly becoming a housing complex.
