Three of the 20 whooping cranes from the reintroductions conducted in 2001 and 2002 have completed their southern migration to Florida. Female cranes Nos. 3 ('02) and 15 ('02) arrived at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge on Nov. 16th. Whooping crane No. 1 ('01) returned to Florida - close to where he spent last winter.
