About Tuiuiu (Jabiru mycteria)
Baia Siá Mariana. Mimoso district .
Barão de Melgaço city.
Pantanal Matogrossense.

"This is a very large stork with a large, black and slightly upturned bill. In flight it is majestic which is not a word used to describe its rather clumsy take-off.

It inhabits freshwater marshes and open country where there are ponds and lakes. It feeds off fish, frogs, snakes, young caiman, etc., and can be quite energetic in pursuit of its prey jumping up and down in the water.

It can be found in suitable habitat from Mexico through to northern Argentina. It builds conspicuous large nests, which get bigger every year that the birds return."

A lovely photo, Roberto. This time it seems to have a huge frog in its throat...


Joggie van Staden   {K:41676} 6/16/2005
Excellent Roberto. Very well exposed with beautiful details in the black and white feathers. It seems as if the bird is busy calling - rekmarks? Kind regards.

Quando eu visitar o Pantanal da próxima vez, você será meu guia! :)

Belíssima captura desse Tuiuiú!


Roberto Okamura   {K:22851} 6/16/2005
Opa! Com prazer grande Angelo! A vantagem de Cuiabá é que é base de partida para diferentes regiões do Pantanal. Varias opções, alguns pontos começam a apenas 30km daqui... E é caminho para as grandes baias de água doce como a que eu fui no sábado Siá Mariana, e a maior de todas Chacororé que é maior que a baia de guanabara. A melhor época para pássaros e animais é agora na estação seca, quando todos os animais disputam os peixes das poças de água que sobram...
