The marabou stork was a repeat bird from our East Africa trip four years ago, although we saw fewer of them.

| The head is the epitome of ugly. |
The only pictures I got, and the only ones I remember seeing, were in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe at the vulture show at the Safari Lodge (where they feed vultures the left-overs from the night-before BOMA meal). There were several, ugly as ever.
They really do rival any other bird I can think of for ugly and disgusting.
These aren't the storks that bring babies to happy parents. They look more like undertakers.
