Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying the Wood Stork From Endangered to Threatened 
Abstract:

We reclassified the wood stork from endangered to threatened. We found that the best available scientific and commercial data indicated that the endangered designation no longer correctly reflected the current status of the continental U.S. breeding population of the wood stork due to a substantial improvement in the species' overall status.
