Just for the record since no one else posted a sighting today..  The Whooping Crane was still there along the Lemon Fair today..  It was perhaps a half mile from the road and with the heat distortion today, the colored leg bands were not especially visible.   However, the bands do show up in a poor quality video taken from that distance.  Observed it for perhaps a half hour about noon time today.  It was very actively feeding in shallow water and low grass.  Never attempted to get any closer to the bird.
