Description
The marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae, found in Africa south of the Sahara, It is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of "hair".
We enjoyed watching these birds feed at a watering hole a few hundred yards from our accommodations near the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
