Painted Stork bird finding for fish inside the pond

A Painted Stork (*Mycteria leucocephala*) with an orange beak and long legs is wading in a pond. Its head is submerged in the water, likely searching for fish. The bird has black and white plumage with hints of pink. Its wings are partially spread, displaying the contrasting dark feathers. The water shows gentle ripples around its legs, suggesting movement. The overcast lighting and gray water create a calm and serene atmosphere.
