The "first family" of whooping cranes of the eastern experimental
population (2 adults and one chick) departed Necedah NWR in central
Wisconsin on 19 November, stopped for 3 weeks along the Wabash River in=
Indiana, departed that site on 7 December, and with some brisk NW winds=
arrived on the west coast of Florida on 9 December at Chassahowitzka NW=
R.
The next day they moved inland to the parent birds' previous wintering
locale on a cattle ranch. Another major step achieved in this exciting=
reintroduction project. I'll have a complete update on this project fo=
r
folks in a week or two. Bob Russell, USFWS=
