Jabiru Stork on Wind-Scoured Ridge Ho Chi Minh

by Caitlin Conrad

Soft, overcast light washes over a tropical wetland ridge near Ho Chi Minh City during the monsoon season. A massive jabiru stork stands tall against a perfectly clear sky, its white plumage against the dark, wind-swept vegetation. The bird's long, black-tipped wings fold tightly against its body, while its pale, fleshy neck curves gracefully. The ground beneath its massive, splayed feet appears damp and textured with scattered debris, evidence of recent heavy rains. Low-angle framing emphasizes the stork's imposing height as it surveys the waterlogged terrain. Behind the bird, the horizon line remains sharp, separating the earth from the expansive blue above. One feather rests on a muddy clod in the immediate foreground.
