In this Feb. 4, 2017, photo, a member of "hargila army," the name of the endangered Greater Adjutant Stork in local Assamese language, displays a weave with motifs of the bird in Dadara village, west of Gauhati, India.

With about 800 birds Assam has the largest number of the Greater Adjutant Stork in the world, concentrated largely in three villages just northwest of state capital Gauhati. (AP Photo/Anupam Nath)
