UPDATE: The remaining male crane remains in our neighborhood, spending most of his time on the shore of a lake in the Harbour Lakes subdivision. 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.
