Apparently one lucky birder - John Sarles - saw it around 9:30 flying over Upper Kohanza Lake. Many others searched a wide area unsuccessfully through 1:40 (when I left the area at least). It’s a mostly residential area with patches of forest and many ponds and lakes (many of which are inaccessible). > Some think that the stork roosted overnight somewhere at or near that lake. If it is still around, it would be worthwhile to check there late afternoon, in case it returns tonight. > > Frank Mantlik > Stratford > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Aug 20, 2024, at 9:30 PM, Chuck Imbergamo <imbercj@comcast.net> wrote: >> >> Thank you so much Frank for posting this! >> >> I hope the bird can be refound tomorrow. >> >> Chuck Imbergamo >> CT Birds Moderator >> Madison >> >>>> On Aug 20, 2024, at 9:02 PM, Frank Mantlik via CTBirds <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> wrote: >>> >>> 8/20 >>> An immature WOOD STORK was photographed tonight in a private yard near West Lake Reservoir in Danbury.
