I have more photos on my FLICKR pages.<br /><br />@Brian-- Thank you-- While I was birding with you on January 7 it was our daughter who broke her ankle. Her husband had broken both legs in early November. We flew to Illinois later that day to help with the children and household. He is finally able to drive and use a walker. Our daughter cannot bear weight until the end of February, so we will be going back to Illinois to help out.Kenneth Cole Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034897745614006325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-73612184063733237732013-02-04T15:43:08.563-07:002013-02-04T15:43:08.563-07:00Ken -

Thanks for the great images and information! It has been so rewarding to have been part of this amazing experience. My encounters with these magnificent birds are something I will never forget, and learning the history and effort involved in saving them is truly inspirational. Eva and the many others involved in this exceptional project are very special people. <br /><br />I would love to see Tussock reunited with Cypress if her injury heals such that she can be re-released. At the same time, I trust that WCEP will make the best decision concerning her future.

Ironically, its favored location is right in front of Scott's home. Scott's photo was the first to document its presence in the adjacent wetlands. The injured crane is recovering at Disney Animal Kingdom. The veterinarians reported there was still some swelling at the site of her amputated toe. She has regained 8% of her body weight over the first 5 days in rehabilitation, and will probably be released within a week. A decision must be made as to whether she should be reunited with the male in the urbanized area or placed with the others from the DAR group in Hendry County or at St Mark's NWR.
