Abstract:
The Wood Stork (Mysteria americana) is a wading bird adapted to fluctuating water levels such as those found in the Everglades of Everglades National Park. The population of Everglades Wood Storks decline through the 1960s and they did not nest successfully from 1967 through 1973. This paper describes a study conducted in 1974 on the factors affecting food supplies and successful nesting of Wood Storks in Everglades National Park. Since Wood Storks nested successfully in 1974, this study provided the first opportunity in 7 years to obtain information necessary for the preservation of the species in Everglades National Park. As a result of this initial study , we recommend areas of future research required for proper management of the Everglades ecosystem.
