Any recent sightings of Spike? Haven't seen a pic lately and fear the
worst...

In the initial thread
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.p...1f9cf1f5fcbcdd
Bret said that the government wildlife people who looked at Spike
decided that it would probably work its way out and that trying to catch
him and remove it would likely do more harm than leaving him
alone--apparently birds do this sort of thing to themselves with some
regularity, there was another photo in the thread of a seagull who had
managed to do the same with a starfish.

Presumably the nail has worked its way out and Spike is now happily
nailless and more or less indistinguishable from any other heron.
