Maribou Stork – by Bird Brian on Flickr
This is the Maribou Stork, the “ugliest bird in Uganda” not my words, that’s just what everyone tells me. I think its kind of cool, this picture doesn’t show the wing span but it is a very large bird. There are many of them and they hang out in a tree by my office. They look like pteradactyls flying around which gives a prehistoric feel to the neighborhood. This weekend I’m hoping to get out of the city and see more nature but so far this is my favorite animal.
