I thought I had posted this, but I guess not.  

I took a video of the Point Lookout Wood Stork on Saturday, Feb. 19.  The bird does seem to be reluctant to place weight on the right foot.  The "ankle" also appears red and swollen.  These features can be seen in the video.  Also, it must be eating, as it can be observed defecating in the video as well.  Needless to say it is allowing close approach, somewhat surprising considering folks were chasing it with nets earlier in the week.  See
