There is a sight record from Ellis County, where Dr. Lewis Watson observed a Wood Stork on 26 March 1885 (Goss 1886). A purported specimen, its whereabouts now unknown, from Chetopa, Labette County, was taken about 1877 by Albert Garrett and reported to Goss by Dr. George Lisle in 1883 (ibid.). Lisle reported seeing these birds on the flats east of Chetopa where the specimen was taken. In Barton County, Marvin Schwilling reported a bird at Cheyenne Bottoms on 22 May 1967, and in Linn County, one bird was observed at the Marais des Cygnes Wildlife Management Area from 17 to 23 July 1975 by Frank Wood, Ivan Sutton, et al.
