The Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) is a large stork found in the Americas from Mexico to Argentina, except west of the Andes. It is most common in the Pantanal region of Brazil and the Eastern Chaco region of Paraguay. It is the only member of the genus Jabiru. The name comes from a Tupi–Guaraní language and means “swollen neck”.
They have a huge range over most of South America and are very easy to see in the Pantanal of Brazil. I was lucky enough to see some chicks in the nest with a parent!
