Wood Stork Populations on the Rebound in South Florida

The South Florida Water Management District reports some encouraging news about the endangered wood stork. In a recent survey of the area, the authority found 6,452 wood stork nests. This is a huge increase over 2008 and a 200 percent increase over the average number of wood stork nests found in surveys over the past decade.

Scientists believe that drought has reduced the number of fish that prey on the food sources of wood storks and other wading birds, leaving more food available for the birds.
