    Hi, this is a great photo of a beautiful bird but I don't think it's a Jabiru. I think it's a Black-necked Stork - Ephippiorhyncus asiaticus. Can you change the identification if you agree? Cheers, Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

The Jabiru

The Jabiru 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".
