Hello all
Just got back from viewing the Imm. Wood Stork in the Fishersville area . The
bird is on a small pond to the left at the intersection of Long Meadow Rd ( Rt.
608 ) & Kiddsville Rd ( Rt. 796 ) . When I saw the bird it was down in the
creek just below the ponds dam . The bird has an injured foot but seems to be
healthy & getting around . Thanks to Calvin Jordan for finding this bird &
alerting us about it being here . This is the first spring record for Wood
Stork in Augusta County & we have two fall records dating back to 1984 & 85 .
Getting there -- Take I 64 to exit 91 & take Rt 285/ 608 North to Rt 250 Take a
left at light -- go under rail Road bridge to light & turn right at light .
stay straight & you will come to the intersection . *** Note there is very
limited areas to park & the traffic is heavy & lots of the drivers do not slow
down so be careful & good luck .
