The marabou stork is the largest of the Tanzanian storks. Individuals as well as large groups can be seen, as these images show. The slideshow includes an image of displaying marabou storks. Note the two inflatable air sacs in the displaying bird: the bright red one at the base of the posterior neck and a pink one that hangs below the neck. Both images below were taken in Tarangire (7-10), the lower courtesy of Alex Supady. |
