Betsy, I hope for better luck for the migrating soras. Yesterday my brother and 
I found a dead sora rail at Warnimont Park in Cudahy. Also, while my brother 
(David Flores) was at the Wisconsin Humane Society delivering a bat that he 
found tangled in some burrs, a woman came in with a sora with a broken leg. The 
kind workers at WHS weren't so sure of a positive outlook for the sora. They 
were however more optimistic about the bat.

Subject: [wisb] Milwaukee Sora in Atrium - maybe trapped?

While visiting a friend at the Catholic  Residence on Milwaukee's east side 
today, we spent time outside in their lovely  "assisted living" atrium.  It 
has a three+ story (40'+/-) surround,  though with numerous young birch and 
ground layer plantings.  I was  surprised to see a juvenile Sora Rail 
taking cover amidst the ground covers and  shrubs as we walked the square.  
Seemed healthy, but I did feel concerned  that it wouldn't be able to navigate 
its way out of the confines of the  atrium.  I wasn't in a position to try to 
capture the bird for transport to  the Humane Society.
