About the Oriental Stork
The Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana; traditional Chinese: 東方白鸛; simplified Chinese: 东方白鹳; pinyin: dōngfāng bái guàn; Japanese: コウノトリ Kounotori; Korean: 황새 Hwangsae) is a large, white bird with black-feathered wings in the stork family Ciconiidae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1873. It is closely related to and resembles the European white stork (C. ciconia), of which it was formerly often treated as a subspecies.
