ReeRay Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Need help in identifying this bird. Initially I thought a Lesser Adjutant Stork but I'm not really sure. Would appreciate any help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Looks a lot like a Marabou Stork but I wouldn't swear to it. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I do believe you've nailed it there Paulette. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 ^ aargh. Somewhat confused now. They really do look alike those two species! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 ^^ That does indeed seem logical. I'll go for that. Thank you both very much for replying Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Marabou storks definitely African. I saw them in Nairobi. So weird. I'm sure Philippe is more knowledgable about birds than I am. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 AFAIK, Marabous have brown eyes, unlike our Asian friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkflo Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I agree, looks like a Maribou to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I agree, looks like a Maribou to me. Marabou. Spelling is critical in keywords. Maribou (State) is a band. Though I might keep the mis-spelling in the comps as there are a few Google searches for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Agree with Geoff. Greater Adjutants have pale blue eyes, Marabou have dark eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
