These pictures were all taken on
May 7, 2006 at the
Jacksonville
Zoo Wood Stork Colony.
Much better day for counting
today than last week. It was clear,
sunny, and hot. Temperatures today
reached about 90 degrees, so by noon
there were many adult storks bathing
in the pond to cool off.
Today's count:
- Tree A: 48 Nests, 38 of
them with chicks (93 chicks
total)
- Tree B: 53 Nests, 32 of
them with chicks (81
chicks total)
- Tree C: 8 Nests, 0
chicks
- Tree D: 2 Nests, both
with chicks (4 chicks total)
- Tree E: 1 Nest, 0 chicks

Totals: 112 Nests, 178
