A very dull Saddle-billed Stork, at least compared to the ones at Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park, where the orange on the bills is much more orange and the saddle is bright yellow.
 
A lovely bird, and a species that I'd like to see more often. Zoos will need to get better at breeding them for that to occur, however.
 
For the start of the spring the Red-crowned Cranes from Swan Lake took over this exhibit in thoughts of placing a species that's used to colder weather while they leave the storks inside until it warms up. Now that is is very warm outside now, and now that the cranes are back in their original exhibit, this still remains empty...
