Wood storks (the only storks that breed in North America) occur primarily in the southeast but disperse widely -- they are routinely found at the Salton Sea in southern California, for example.   They're irregular breeders, with success dependent on fish supplies.   One of their primary breeding sites is at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in southern Florida; I took one of these pictures there, and the others at Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge on Cape Canaveral and at Fort DeSoto Park near St Pete Beach.
