Go hunting we hear for a bird (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stork

'bird' is the definition.
(I know that stork is a type of bird)

'go hunting we hear' is the wordplay.
'go hunting' becomes 'stalk'.
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'stalk' is a homophone of 'STORK'.

'for a' is the link.

(Other definitions for stork that I've seen before include "Baby-carrying bird?" , "Large wading bird" , "The baby bird, so to speak" , "Mythological baby-bringer" , "Bird that delivers babies?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
