Good News,
A local fellow is making a three day drive to North Carolina in a panel van (with a wading pool) in the back so Ralph will get back to his own kind.
It seems ironic, in light of the questions Sammy raised regarding expense and carbon footprint that if a ride could have been found on an existing flight the 'footprint' for transporting this bird would have been a lot smaller than it will be in the van.
However, Ralph is getting around like all good Pelicans: on wheels!
Thanks for your support for Ralph (and watch out for Canadian strip clubs!)
