Bird Families of the World

Maguari Stork

Storks are heavy wading birds living in a variety of habitats. In sub-Saharan Africa, they spend much of their time on the open savanna, contending for scraps at big-game kills or snapping up the victims of grassland fires; elsewhere, they are much more tied to water.

The family is Podicipedidae.

There are 19 species placed in 6 genera.

Anastomus with 2 species
Ciconia with 7 species
Ephippiorhynchus with 2 species
Jabiru with 1 specie
Leptoptilos with 3 species
Mycteria with 4 species

So far I have photographed 15 different species
