Big bird! There are no birds that big around here. The biggest birds we get are this big *holds up hands a short distance apart from eachother* That a stork?

Yes, ailment is the right word.

Birds are great, but to approch one is often risky. They get too scared too easy.

Birds...

You are joking right? You have bothe the Great Blue Heron and the Sand hill Crane... They are close in size to the stork... ;)

Ha! Where, exactly, do they live? Washington>America is a big state, and contains many animals I've never seen. I certainly don't see a bunch of sand hill cranes ambling around when I'm out feeding the ducks. :p :)

They are fresh water fish eaters... They like to stay in the bull rushes and away from people. But they are there. You can find then all throughout the state. Including Olympia. You guys also have the Brown Pelican, that thing tops out at near 54" tall... But I was just saying... We have then Here in Minnesota too...

Well I am not sure how much of an expert of taxonomy I am, However, birds and wildlife in general really interested me when I was a kid. And I guess that interst never went away...
