101. Saddle-billed Stork, 鞍嘴鹳, 凹嘴鸛, Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis, クラハシコウ
A tall, lanky, black-and-white stork with a unique red, yellow, and black bill. The male has dark-brown eyes, and the female has yellow eyes. In flight, the bird’s massive size, and the dark bands in the center of the white wings are diagnostic. Scarce but conspicuous; mostly resident but can be partially nomadic in parts of the range. Found singly or in pairs at rivers and large undisturbed wetlands, foraging for favorites like catfish, but it will also take frogs, birds, and insects. [Ebird]
一种高大、瘦长的黑白相间的鹳，拥有独特的红、黄、黑三色喙。雄性有深褐色的眼睛，而雌性则有黄色的眼睛。在飞行时，这种鸟的巨大体型以及白色翅膀中央的深色条纹是其显著特征。这种鸟虽然稀少但很显眼；主要是留鸟，但在部分分布区域内可能会部分游荡。通常单独或成对出现在河流和未受干扰的大型湿地中，觅食它们最爱的鲶鱼，但也会捕捉青蛙、鸟类和昆虫。
