The San Diego Safari Park (AKA the San Diego Wild Animal Park) is missing a fully flighted juvenile female Painted Stork from the San Diego Safari Park.
She is a young, zoo hatched, and hand raised, and was carried off by the wind Monday during her free-flight training demonstration. She reportedly hit a high thermal and might be anywhere in the North San Diego County area.
Someone has posted photos of a Painted Stork without comment over at SDBirds (membership required) at <http://tinyurl.com/lt4t4ho>. However, it's not clear if these pics are of the actual missing bird since it looks pretty full-grown.
Anyone with information should call the Safari Park's Ranger Base at
760-738-5010 and give them as much information as possible. The Rangers will pass the information to the stork's keepers and trainers.
This bird needs help, and the trainers are very worried!
