An immature WOOD STORK was photographed tonight in a private yard near West Lake Reservoir in Danbury. It was then seen flying northeast. Thanks to Loralee Richter for passing along word.
This would be the 6th CT record, with the last being one photographed 7/22/1999 in Cornwall, and the one before that in 1955.
There are several small lakes and reservoirs in the area. I suspect many birders will be searching tomorrow morning. If anyone has any success re-finding this rarity, please post here.
