SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- There's a rare stork flying around northeast Wisconsin, and it's been spotted in Fond du Lac, Appleton, Green Bay and Sheboygan this week. 

A former wildlife rescuer says she is trying to work with the Wisconsin and Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to try and find the marabou stork's home. 

She says it's important to catch the stork as soon as possible to avoid it potentially getting hurt or hurting others. 

"It is probably living its best life out there, but it could go downhill quickly for it," said Jessica Saunders, former wildlife transporter and rescuer.
"I was told that it isn't uncommon for it to maybe have a loop that it's making. It could really like our area and could be coming back to Fond du Lac."

If you see a huge bird flying through the sky in the next few days, it could be the rogue stork continuing its tour of Wisconsin.
