     I checked with Endanged Species here at the Center. No escapes. They 
     have had wild cranes visit in more than one year (around Nov 22) and 
     move on to other places.

I visited Lake Artemesia, PG MD (DeLorme page 47, B5) today (December 13). 
Within a few minutes of 8AM, I had a Sandhill Crane fly overhead heading 
south-west.  I doubt the bird is chase-able, unless it was heading out of 
a roost.  Nevertheless it's nice to know it's around.  Now, if only I can 
identify some red flybys with misshapen bills... 
     
As an aside, if the crane maintained a constant heading, ten miles earlier 
it was near the pens at Patuxent.  I think it's unlikely, but does anyone 
know if they lost a captive recently?
