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.
