Painted Stork bird finding for fish inside the pond

Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) wading in a pond. The bird is characterized by a long, yellow beak, pink tertial feathers, and a combination of white and black plumage. It stands in shallow water with ripples, likely searching for fish. The stork's stance and focused gaze suggest active hunting behavior. Its large size and distinctive coloration make it easily identifiable in its natural habitat. The overcast lighting emphasizes the bird's vibrant colors against the dark water.
