Richard has asked a legitimate question in my opinion. I don't know where the bulk of the breeding sites are relative to the path that migratory birds might take. Do the breeding individuals leave prior to the migrants coming through? I don't know...just another relevant question in terms of protecting breeders. Maybe there are so few breeders that it is statistically irrelevant as migrants are overwhelmingly the most likely individuals to be harvested. These kinds of concerns are certainly legitimate from a biological standpoint. Eric Harrold

The population of cranes that is proposed for hunting is a migratory population - not the ones that are nesting in Minnesota.
