Habitat
The wood stork can be found in coastal areas, tidal waters, marshes, swamps, streams and mangroves.

Diet
The wood stork feeds during the day and at night. It eats small fish, frogs, mollusks, snails, insects, and aquatic invertebrates. It hunts for its prey in shallow, muddy-bottomed banks or wetlands. The wood stork moves slowly through the shallow water with its bill open feeling for movement. When the wood stork locates a fish, it quickly snaps its bill shut.
