Carrol Henderson forwarded a contact to me this afternoon and I just managed
to get online and view the fellow's photograph. Looks like a whooping crane
and I don't see any color bands although the quality is not sharp. He has a
better photograph and I'm trying to get hold of it now. For now, check out the
website at BurtrumNews.com and information on the general location of the
bird. I am suspicious that if this is the same bird that was near Zimmerman a
couple of days ago, then it's trying to get back on a bearing for Alberta,
perhaps after being blown east from the storms last week, and is farther north than
most Wisconsin birds have ever wandered in MN so we better watch this bird, it
could easily be a wild whooper. If anyone locates this bird on Saturday
please post directions, do not disturb it (use your car as a blind) and see if you
see any color bands. Mosr Aransas birds are not banded and the few that
still are have metal bands only. Bob Russell
