It’s a mixed bag for our most charismatic of North American waders this week. While the ultralight aircraft leading a flock of young Whooping Cranes to Florida may again take to the skies, that good news is tempered by the effects of the drought in Texas, which has already led to the death of at least one Whooping Crane there.
I’m very grateful to have been able to see the Whooping Cranes this weekend at Granger Lake. http://www.flickr.com/photos/seanpaulkelley/6655534025/in/photostream It was a good day!
