all true. They are simply amazing birds
I have them where I live, on the Snake River.
They look prehistoric when they fly. Wingspan is HUGE
Our county sets up huge platforms way up in the air so they can build their nests.
Nearly scared the shit right out of me when one flew not too far away from my head when I first moved to this area.
They are BIG Birds! and watching them dive in the river for food is a sight to see. They always get their fish!
