"The official 2007 wood stork score for Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is in: no nests, no eggs, no fledglings. In fact, this is a dismal nesting season everywhere for the wood stork, which has been listed as endangered species since 1984. 'It's looking bad throughout the state,' said Gary Morse, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

It's bleak everywhere.'"
