Crane Update

We talked a little about the loss of the 2006 cohort of whooping cranes a couple of days ago.

Those who know me well have probably heard me rant a little bit about these cranes. In my less-than-sympathetic moments, I have occasionally referred to them as "poster children for evolution."

However, there seems to be at least one whooping crane that could be a poster child for "survival of the fittest." As in he DID, so he must BE. Crane #15 somehow escaped his pen and survived. He found some other cranes to hang out with, and was located with a transmitter.

Story at TBO. Good crane!
