Brad took a frontal view of a female Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) as it stood in a swampy area near our vehicle. We'd left Xakanaxa Camp early in the morning on August 23, 2012, in a safari vehicle to bird the Moremi Game Reserve (Botswana). Temperatures were in the low 80's with clear sunny skies. The head, neck, back, wings, and tail are an iridescent black, while the rest of the body and the primary flight feathers are white. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the saddle). The legs are black with pinkish feet and knees. The chest (see photo) has a bare red patch of skin that darkens in color during the breeding season.
