Reports of 2008 on the status of Whooping Cranes associated with the wild Wood Buffalo/Aransas flock and re-introduced ones in Florida assesses recovery prospects. Reflective of their optimism, the issue of re-establishing a flock in Lousiana is also discussed by authors Tom Stein, the USFWS Whooping Crane coordinator at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, and Marty Folk with the Florida Fish and Wlidlife Conservation Commission.
Their reports appear at the WHOOPER STATUS button below. At the end of their reports they kindly included an introduction to On the Wings of Crane: Larry Walkinshaw’s Life Story. Thanks guys for the ‘plug’! Nonetheless, Walkinshaw earned the privilage by his contributions to crane conservation.
