[mou] injured Sand Hill Crane

[Steve Weston]

I have reports of a Sand Hill Crane north of Floodwood that appears not to 
be able to fly.  the bird still appears to be nimble afoot and probably not 
approachable.   If it is approachable, and catchable, is there any rehab 
facility for it?  And, is there any iron clad bird catcher that would be 
able to apprehend it?

Also reported from just east of Floodwood during hunting were seven 
"Three-toed Woodpeckers".  The hunter was not adverse to revising his ID to 
Black-backed.  The birds were described as common in their range, which I 
don't know fits the Three-toed.  Also, old field guides lumped both as 
Three-toed.
