There was a message on my phone this morning from someone who said that he = saw a wood stork on Swan Lake about a week ago.
Unfortunately, he left a name but no phone number so that I could call him = back and get any details. I assume that he meant the Swan Lake in = Nicollet County. He also indicated that he has taken part in Audubon bird = counts in the past and has seen wood storks in the Florida Everglades. = This makes me think that it is a reliable observer. =20 Swan Lake is 10,000 acres in size and mostly inaccessible except by boat = so seeing this bird again may be like finding a needle in a haystack. = However, I am posting this so that if anybody has the time to look they = have all of the information that I have.
