at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. The rhododendrons are especially pretty…! Most or all them are in the Asia section of the Garden…..the native home of most varieties. There are some N.American natives which used to be my friends in North Carolina.

An Asian openbill stork (anastomus oscitans) photographed at the edge of a field in Sukhothai, Thailand,
Clicked at the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, this large wading bird in the Stork family is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Their name is derived from the distinctive gap formed between the recurved lower and arched upper mandible of the beak in adult birds. The cutting edges of the mandible have a fine brush like structure that is thought to give them better grip on the shells of snails. The usual foraging habitats are inland wetlands and are only rarely seen along river banks and tidal flats. On agricultural landscapes, birds forage in crop fields, irrigation canals, and in seasonal marshes. Groups may forage together in close proximity in shallow water or marshy ground on which they may walk with a slow and steady gait. They feed mainly on large molluscs separating the shell from the body of the snail using the tip of their beak.

The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although resident within their range, they make long distance movements in response to weather and food availability.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this photo, it's very much appreciated!
Another pic taken during the boat ride on the waterways of Zhujiajiao, on the outskirts of Shanghai.
This is similar to my previous shot at this spot but I took this as the sun was setting on Expedition Everest and this version is HDR from three bracketed exposures.
You definitely have to view this one large on black.
