Wildlife center has nesting storks

Laura Young ECB Publishing, Inc. The North Florida Wildlife Center (NFWC) in Lamont, Fla., is incredibly excited that their European white storks have finally nested. Stella, an 18-year-old female, arrived at NFWC in 2019 from a zoological facility in California. In 2021 they welcomed Fernando, a 30-year-old male from the Gulf Breeze Zoo in the Florida Panhandle.
