Wood Storks - Site Map
Wood Storks are the largest birds of Northern America. This gregarious species (scientific name Mycteria Americana) inhabits most of the United States and is considered the treasure of American wildlife.
Wood Storks are considered low productive species. They will not start a breeding season unless there are enough food supplies. The time of the breeding depends on weather conditions and appropriate nesting conditions. Historically, the nesting season coincides with changes in water level. In dryer weather, when the water level is low, which makes fish gather in small ponds in abundance, Wood Storks have an easily accessible food supply.
Wood Storks were listed on the Federal Endangered Species List in 1984. Their low population size is due to several reasons, habitat loss and pollution being among the major ones. When following the historical trends of Wood Stork population, one will easily see that their numbers diminished drastically over the second half of the century, which was characterized by rapid urban growth and infrastructure development.
Wood Storks are the subject of much investigation nowadays. One of the most successful projects that aim at species conservation is satellite tracking of Wood Storks. It was initiated to better learn the species biology, nesting and feeding sites’ location, and even more.
