Looks like a baby sand crane is limp on the golf course.

Just saw a guy with a net try to capture it, and then a neighbor who I know is wild life conscious went to talk to him. Baby walked away from him, flapping its wings. It's probably going to take two wildlife guys to do this properly.

Any suggestions?

I called an Audobon number and they said they only handle birds of prey. And I called Sea World and they said Seminole County handles this area and they don't do anything about birds, and to let nature take its course. They had euthanized two young ones today, because there's not much you can do to a broken bone.

Now I'm going to have to look at the video clips to see what happened to it.
