Since you mentioned it on TN-Birds... My birding partner and I went down today to the Myers' Farm. We saw Mrs. M. feeding the fish, but never saw the elusive Jabiru. We then spent the rest of the day visiting more than 35 fish farm ponds. There were hundreds of Great Egrets, not so many Great Blues, a few Snowys and Cattle Egrets, and even five juvenile White Ibises ( brownish ). Our hearts skipped a beat, as we drove near the Malmaison NWR. We spotted a "kettle" of Wood Storks, circling about the refuge, just one field over from Highway 7. We stopped and got out and carefully examined every one of the circling giants. Beautiful, graceful, enormous, but they were all Wood Storks. No Jabiru. We went into the wildlife park and drove to the boat ramp, but we did not see where they might have landed. We never saw any other aggregation of Wood Storks, all day. But had a wonderful time looking. Thanks for the tip.
