Olli -Mighty Mod-  More info | Jan 10, 2009 13:27 | #1 I browsed some old shots and found this picture of a stork whose wing look like being operated. Could this be so?  #2 Wings up, see the "stitching/scar" in the left wing.  See also this Wikipedia picture  , does it show something similar ...  My Instagrams

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Jan 10, 2009 15:44 | #4 Nice shots of the stork. Did you try and look at it expanded in image software? It does look like a scratch, although what a scratch on feathers looks like I'm not sure. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

It does look like a scratch, although what a scratch on feathers looks like I'm not sure. Here's the detail. When highlighting the injured area, it indeed looks like a scratch or wound. The wingspan of this bird is about 1.5 meters, so the injury is maybe 10-20 cm long, but didn't prevent flying.  My Instagrams

This case might be more natural that it in the first instance looked like. My Instagrams
