Whooping Cranes from the introduced Wisconsin population have been reported from several parts of the Midwest recently including North Dakota and western Minnesota. There is a known group of 4 whoopers seen recently in SW MN and at least 5-10 other birds are possible in MN, N WI, or even Iowa or neighboring states. Rather than report sightings directly to a birdnet that might lead to disturbance of the birds by overzealous observers, the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership requests that you please report all sightings to the following website: http://www.fws.gov/midwest/whoopingcrane/sightings/sightingform.cfm
This will forward the reports to all of the program partners and involved biologists who are tracking the birds. Bob Russell, USFWS, Ft.
