Maguari Stork
About the Maguari Stork
Also known as: American Stork
Maguari Storks prefer to live in open wet areas, like marshes, mudflats, and other types of wetlands. They feed by foraging in shallow water and take on a variety of prey items, including worms, snakes, small mammals, fish, and frogs.
Different from other storks, Maguari Storks make their grass- and reed-constructed nest on the ground near shallow water. They nest in colonies typically consisting of between 5 and 15 nests.
