Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food Habits and Nesting Success of Wood Storks in Everglades National Park in 1974 Food of Wood Storks was determined by obtaining regurgitation samples from nest lings in colonies and from adults at feeding sites. Nestling storks regurgitate readily when handled. We found that when we used a helicopter to fly close to feeding adult storks, they would regurgitate food onto the ground before flying away. We then landed to collect the regurgitation and took several drop - trap or throw - trap samples of fish at the same place where regurgitation samples were obtained (fig. Thus we were able to compare the species and sizes of fish available to those taken by storks. The data collected at feeding sites were combined for analysis into three habitats coastal, mangrove headwaters, and Ever glades. Fishes collected during the study were preserved and later identified, counted, and measured for total length and dry weight. Aerial surveys, conducted two to four times per month, were used to locate feeding storks, follow storks from colony sites to feeding grounds, observe nesting colonies, census nests, and monitor stage of nesting. More detailed observations on the development of young, number of young in nests, survival of nestlings, and daily activity of adults were obtained by ground visits to the rookeries.
