Painted Stork bird finding for fish inside the pond

Painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) stands in shallow pond water, searching for fish. Its long, yellow-orange beak is submerged, with head bent forward. The bird's plumage features black and white with distinctive pink tertial feathers on its wings. Ripples spread around its slender legs, indicating subtle movement in the water. The stork's reflection is visible on the pond's surface, enhancing the scene's serenity.
