Deer Hunter Discovers Rare Subtropical Wood Stork in the Wilds of Wisconsin
A wood stork, native to tropical areas, appeared in Wisconsin this summer, highlighting unusual bird migration patterns possibly linked to environmental changes.
- A very rare wood stork was discovered by a hunter in the Mud Lake Wildlife Area in Columbia County, Wisconsin, according to Jeff Bahls, President of the Horicon Marsh Bird Club.
- Jeff Bahls confirmed the bird is a juvenile wood stork, likely hatched this spring with a light-colored bill, which is characteristic of young storks.
- The stork was last seen flying northeast with a flock of pelicans on Tuesday morning and hasn't been spotted since.
- Wood storks, typically found in Gulf Coast states and Central and South America, are listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act and are the only stork species that breeds in the United States.
