One more post from the Pantanal, featuring a species often cited as emblematic to the region. According to Wikipedia, Jabiru means "swollen neck" in a common indigenous South American language, and seem to be aptly named (see #4).

Enormous birds, bigger than wood storks, and about the same size as saddle-billed storks. Graceful in flight, ungainly on land, and (Wikipedia again), doting parents. For an earlier version of the same family, check out Eric's photo!

Comments/criticisms/advice all appreciated as always.

Is that snack a piranha?

Beautiful set, Greg. Love the lighting and the scene you captured. Look like those fish's sharp teeth cannot do any more harm. :-)

Beautiful photos, Greg. I have to agree with Bruce; the last photo appears to have the Jabiru snacking on a piranha.

Incredible birds and wonderful captures, but #4 is just fantastic and deserves a place on your wall. Truly amazing. What time of year were you there?

Yahoo! Well done and that catch is a first for me and I think on FM as well. Tasty treat for sure but do they digest the teeth? Never really thought about it but dang that is cool

Love the layout of your post, from flight shot to family and close-ups the effort is top notch.

Take care,
Brian

This is an amazing series Greg! The fly in is just perfect, as I love this perspective...
The final image... Jabiru v Piranha is just crazy good... looks like the fish lost

Beautiful light and setting in the first three Greg, great job giving us that story in 3 compelling images.

#4 instantly became my favorite... until I scrolled down to #5. Both are fantastic captures, but #5 is incredible IMHO.

Excellent work once again.
