Stork — The Hebrew word hasîdhah - Strongs: H2624, erroneously rendered "heron" by the Douay translators, Lev. 11:19, alludes to the well-known affection of the stork for its young. Several passages have reference to this bird, its periodical migrations (Jeremiah 8:7), its nesting in fir-trees, its black pinions stretching from its white body (Zechariah 5:9; D.V., kite; but the stork, hasîdhah, is mentioned in the Hebrew text). Two kinds, the white and the black stork, live in Israel during the winter.
