Spotted
The Maguari Stork is a large, predominantly white stork native to South America. It is distinguished by its black flight feathers and reddish-orange bill and legs, making it a prominent feature of open wetlands.
Where to spot
Widespread across South America east of the Andes, from northern Venezuela and Colombia south to Argentina. Favors open wetlands, grasslands, and savannas.
How to spot
Look for its large size, white body, and black flight feathers, which are conspicuous in flight. Its reddish-orange bill and legs are also good identification markers. Often seen wading in shallow water or standing in open fields, sometimes in small groups.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Breeding typically occurs during the rainy season, when food is abundant.

Unlike many storks, the Maguari Stork often nests on the ground or in low bushes, rather than tall trees, in its wetland habitats.
