<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="ciconiiformes"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Ciconiiformes is the avian order containing storks (Ciconiidae), traditionally grouped with herons and ibises though modern phylogenetics has revised these arrangements. Carnivorous wading birds with long legs and bills, fossil representatives from North America expand the known geographic range of this order through geological time.
