Mike Tetlow called me at 9:30 as he and Brad Carlson were watching a WOOD STORK soaring over Area #4 at Hamlin Beach. I was able to dash out and catch up with them, and the Stork, as it continued to circle and drift east near Area #1. We watched as it slowly moved east, angling a bit toward the south. It seems likely this may be the same bird that Dave Tetlow found here on Monday - Brad & I took a lot of pictures of today's bird which may prove helpful in determining this. Whether it's the same one or a second bird, folks to the east along the lake should keep an eye out, and it would be well worth checking ponds etc. east of Hamlin (e.g., Braddock Bay area, Salmon Creek, Northrup Creek, etc).
