Good news in Florida

From the Miami Herald … Wading birds, the most beautiful residents of the Everglades and key measuring sticks of its biological health, have been breeding in numbers last recorded more than a half-century ago.

Great news! Thanks for sharing, Mary.

I had no idea Wood Storks are endangered. I saw so many around Orlando last month, I just figured they are a standard sighting there. So I can vouch for their numerous return to the Orlando area!

On a nature cruise up the North Fork of the St. Lucie River late last spring, a couple breeding areas of mangroves were packed with preteen wood storks.
