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.
More detailed
information about these whooping cranes is available from the International
Crane Foundation's website.
