ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
In this dead tree, a group of Marabou Storks has gathered. These birds are often called "The Undertakers" due to their odd appearance (they have a seemingly bald head and feather coloring that gives them the appearance of wearing a suit jacket). These birds will eat anything - dead or alive. The large red pouch under the chin - ~18" in length - inflates to attract mates. Interestingly, Marabou Storks do mate for life.
