Wood Stork — size comparison — facts and sources
The wood stork inhabits shallow American wetlands, swamps and seasonal floods. It wades with a partly open bill, snapping shut when fish or other prey touches the interior.
Touch-based hunting works in turbid water. It breeds colonially; falling water often concentrates prey into progressively smaller feeding areas.
