There was a lot of publicity about this bird, however, when we were up there the ranger had advised us that she was aware of the bird’s presence and had contacted DEC Wildlife Services, who she expected to show up on Monday. When we ran into this pelican, he was flying well and appeared to be in good health.

Wasn’t there quite a bit of publicity around this bird already? Does anyone with skills and authority need a special invitation to intervene? Seems like saying “well I just didn’t know about it” is a bit specious. Pointing fingers of blame (if there is any to be had) all around doesn’t wash here.
