I'm the OP, Dean.

1st, I got into a bit of trouble here after posting this. Phyllis reminded me that SHE was the first to notice the plastic netting on the Crane's beak. OK... but I was the one brave enough to get so close and reach to get it off BigBird... Alright, we're even.

2nd, it was amazing that he must have sensed trust that we would help and not hurt him. Perhaps because we were with Chip, our little dog. That part hit me the most afterward, warm feeling - yes.

3rd, We do believe the single Crane that flew over to us the next day was 'him'. Phyllis and I both got goosebumps. Chip...well not sure.

And finally - as we age (we're both 65), hearing nice stories is so appealing. Not to hijack my own Thread, but the TV news - esp local, is so depressing. We try to catch the happy/human interest stories at the end of the Network News. I wish they would have a cable news channel with only/all GoodNews stuff. But, as we would guess ratings would not support it for long.
