Marabou mourning?

These undertaker birds, as marabou storks are commonly known, stand here as if in deep sorrow or contemplation. They all face in the same direction, maybe because the wind is from there. Or they expect something over there to die any minute, bringing a new food supply to the "table". Less likely, they are facing a preacher deserving of their solemn, undivided attention!

These birds are storks in shape, vultures in living habits. They scavenge for carrion, faeces and animal scraps small enough to swallow. The featherless head is an apt adaptation given the feeding habits: easier to keep a bare head clean than a feathered one, if it must enter a bloody carcass for tearing at meat.

A large marabou, reaching maturity after about four years, may exceed 1,5 m in height, weigh 9 kg and have a wingspan of 3,7 m (Wikipedia).
