Field Notes

Description:

Found the bird circling the skies near our campus, but then it disappeared. Not sure of the ID since I didn't see it at close quarters. But thanks to Kalee, I know now that it is a painted stork.

Thanks Kalee Vidanapathirana. I thought that was the ID but wanted someone else to ID it.
