Woodstork Colony
(Jax Zoo) -

These pictures were all taken on
March 12, 2006 at the
Jacksonville
Zoo Wood Stork Colony. Nest building
was already underway for the 2006
season - over 60 nests were already
established. There were no
hatchlings this day. |

This is a
partial view of 'Tree A'. In
addition to Trees A and B, this year
we have Trees C and D. The Wood
Storks are nesting in two additional
trees for the first time this
season.

The Wood
Storks are very active in the
morning, leaving and returning to
the colony constantly; often with
building material for their nests.

This
woodstork is a banded bird from
Harris Neck NWR in Georgia (20 miles
south of Savannah). There are a few
Harris Neck birds in the
Jacksonville Colony this year. |
