FEATHERED FRIENDS. A greater adjutant stork, an endangered bird with a total population of 1,200 in the world, flies at Dadara village, west of Gauhati, India.
For decades the big and awkward-looking carnivore and scavenging bird was the object of revulsion at its home in northeast India until a group of women took it upon
themselves to save it. They call themselves the hargila army, for the bird’s name in the local Assamese language. See story on page 3. (AP Photo/Anupam Nath)
