  He like nā manu'ōpiopio me nā mākua akā ua uhiʻia ko lākou mau poʻo a me nā'ā'ī i kahiʻeleʻele maikaʻi aʻo ka pāleina he'ōlena-hina. I ko lākou oʻoʻana, paʻa lākou i kahi holoi holoi ma ka'ā'ī keʻokeʻo, akā, e loaʻa iā lākou ka'ōlulu'ōpio i loko o 3-4 mau makahiki.

NĀʻAi : Fish, amphibians, crustaceans, nā mea kolo, nā'ōpū nui wai ( See: Piscivorous )

Ka Nohoʻana a me ka Holoʻana:

Hoʻomanaʻo kēia poʻe i nā wahi me ka wai, nā muliwai, nā wahi momona, nā mea kanu a me nā kaupuni pinepine, nāʻauwai paʻa, nā luawai waiwai a me nā loko wai. Loaʻa iā lākou i kēia makahiki a puni ma Florida panhandle, a ma waena o ka Caribbean, Central America a me Amerika Hema.

MaʻAmelika Hema, e hele ana ko lākou laina ma ka hikina hikina o Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador a me Peru, i ka'ākau o Bolivia, ma Pasila, Paraquay a me Uruguay a ma ka'ākau o'Atinaina.

I ka manawa o ke kauʻana, hiki i nā koraka lāʻau ke hoʻonui i ko lākou pokole, hiki i ka'ākau a hiki i ka'ākau o North Carolina ma ka MoanaʻAkelanika a me kaʻaoʻaoʻo Gulf Coast a me nā kahakai hikina a me ke komohana o Mexico.

Holoholo mau kēia mau manu, a uaʻikeʻia nā mea iʻikeʻia ma ka'ākau a me ke komohana e like me Kalepona, Tennessee, Massachusetts a hiki i Dakotas a me kaʻaoʻao hemaʻo Canada. ʻIkeʻia ka nānāʻana i nāʻike he nui i ka hāʻuleʻana a me ka hoʻoilo, a he mau manu'ōpio.

Nā Mahi:

ʻO kēia mau kolo e noho mālie wale ana, akā, hoʻohana nā'ōpiopio'ōpio i nāʻano o keʻano o nā hakakā ākea a iʻole nā ​​leo kālepa koʻikoʻi o ka pūnana. I loko o kahi koloka nui nui, hiki ke lilo i mea hauʻoli. ʻO ka pīpī Bill a me nā puʻupuʻu kekahi o nā kani kani lāʻau.

Nā hana:

He mea nui nā kolo lāʻau a loaʻa pinepine i nā pua holoholona, ​​akāʻo lākou wale nō eʻikeʻia. Holo lākou i ka wai a hiki i ko lākou'ōpū, e hele mālie a me ke akahele me ka weheʻana o kā lākou mau pili kālā a keʻoliʻoli nei i ka wai. Ke pā i ka pila, hiki i ke kolo lāʻau ke hoʻopili iā ia i loko o ka 25 milliseconds wale nō - kekahi o nā manawa wikiwiki wikiwiki i hoʻopaʻaʻia i waena o nā hīmeni.

Ma ka leleʻana, e mālama nā manu i nā'ā'ī a me nā wāwae i waho, kahi e hiki ai ke hōʻike mai i kahi lole nani. Hoʻopiʻi lākou i nā hoʻouluʻana ma nāʻano maʻalahi likeʻole me nā pelicans keʻokeʻoʻAmelika a me nā manu .

Hōʻano houʻia:

ʻO kēia mau pona nei he hoʻokahi a me ka maʻi ma hope o ka hōʻikeʻana i ka pāpāho e komo ana i nā paʻi pipi a me ka pākī. ʻO nā kolo lāʻau ko colonial , a heʻelua mau nila aʻoi aku paha nā pūnana i loko o kona mau lālā. E hana pū kekahi mau mākua kāne e kūkulu i kahi pūʻali pāpaku, kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā lāʻau, kāwiliʻia me nā lālā liʻiliʻi a me nā lau. Ua hoʻonohonohoʻia nā nests mai ka 10-80 kapuaʻi ma luna o ka lepo, pinepine i ka wai.

Aia he 2-5 mau hua keʻokeʻo, hua elliptical i kēlā me kēia keiki . Hāʻawi nā mākua i nā kuleana hana no nā lā 27-32, a ma hope o ka pauʻana o nā moa, hānai nā mākua i nā'ōpiopio'ōpiopio no 55 mau lā 60, i ia manawa e haʻalele mau nā manu'ōpiopio i ka punana.

ʻOiai nā manu'ōpiopio i loko o ka pūnana, nā manuʻeleʻele e palekana i kahi kokoke koke mai o nā mea pupule a iʻole nā ​​mea hoʻoweliweli paha.

Ma muli o ka hoʻolāʻihi lōʻihi a me nā mālama makua, hoʻokahi wale nō hānai hānai e hoʻouluʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻAʻole e like me nā manu he nui i hoʻohuiʻia i ke kauwela ,ʻo nā kumulāʻau lāʻau ka mea maʻamau i ke kauwela ma hope o ka hoʻomaloʻoʻana o nā loko a me nā loko iʻa i nā wahi liʻiliʻi.

Keʻimi nei i ka Wood Storks:

ʻAʻole kēia mauʻano manu o nā manu o ke kua, akā hiki paha iā lākou ke hōʻike i nā pā ma kahi e pili ana i nā loko kūpaʻa a me nā wahi kūpapa kūpono. Hiki ke hoʻopiʻi i nā wahi i kāpiliʻia i nā kolo lāʻau.

Hoʻomalu:

ʻOiaiʻaʻole i manaʻoʻia kēia mau manu i ka hoʻoweliweli a iʻole e hōʻehaʻia i ka pae honua holoʻokoʻa, hiki ke hoʻololi i nā inoa o ka hale. MaʻAmelika Huipūʻia, ua manaʻoʻia nā mea kani lāʻau a hiki i ka mahinaʻo Iulai 2014, i ka wā i loaʻa ai ka nui o nā kānaka i ka hoʻoneʻeʻiaʻana mai ka papa inoa'āpana'ōpala. ʻOiai nā mea i ola hou, e mau ana kēia mau manu. ʻO ka liloʻana o ka wai kahe wai a me ka mālamaʻana i ka wai maikaʻi,ʻo ia ka mea nui loa i ka weliweli i nā kola lāʻau.
