This really is my final posting on this topic. To all those who have written to express their concern that the loon was not being properly cared for & giving me advice on where to take the bird... the confusion is partly my fault. I was amiss in stating the bird was going to SANDERS NATURE CENTER. It is a nature center but it is also a Rehabilitation Center...a very good one where birds are given excellent care & seen by an excellent vet when needed, but was not needed in this case. So please be assured, this entire procedure was done responsibly. Laura Dornan Lousville **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
