How is it known to have injured wing? What are the signs? It was reported
flying back and forth to ponds just yesterday with no mention of any sign
of injury. This would be a very hard species to capture on open water in
daylight. Much like injured loons are that our office rescues at times, I
suspect that it would require night lighting to capture on open water.

Thanks
Kent
