Hey birders,

I just got off the phone with Wayne Feder and he indicated that the homeowners that have hosted the Wood Stork the last couple of days have decided to withdraw their hospitality.  They did not cite any bad behavior on birders’ parts, but the increased traffic has caused some logistical issues for the running of their farm.  Please do not use their driveway or trespass on their property.

Wayne also indicated that the bird is apparently declining in health and it survival long-term is in question.

Thanks for respecting the privacy of these landowners.  Perhaps a certificate from the MOU would be appropriate in this case as well.

Happy birding!
