Nesting Wood Storks

One of the best places to see wood storks and other wading birds nesting up close around March is Wakodahatchee Preserve in Delray Beach, Florida.

At Wakodahatchee, dozens of nesting wood stork pairs are visible from the boardwalk. One tree island that appears to be the hot neighborhood for young stork families is no more than 15 feet from the boardwalk.
