Wildlife
The wood stork (Mycteria americana) is the only native species of stork in North America residing almost completely in Florida and is an endangered species. The population of southeastern United States was reportedly over 150,000 at one time, but by early 1990s probably not much over 10,000. Destruction of habitat and disruption of water flow through southern Florida were major causes of decline. Breeding population of far southern Florida has dropped sharply since 1970s (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)
