[va-bird] Whooping Crane update

Update on the now "not missing" Whooping Crane.
The 8 missing Whooping Crane, blown off course by last week's strong and 
then flushed by careless homo sapiens were relocated yesterday.

Update provided by Joan Garland, Education Outreach Coordinator

Thanks to an aerial search by Windway, the group of eight was located 
yesterday. With assistance of satellite (PTT) readings, the birds were 
located after dark in a farm field in southwestern Ohio . All eight birds 
were present, including the one which hit a powerline.

The other eight cranes from 2003 and 14-02 remain at Chassahowitzka 
NWR.  Three other cranes are also still in Florida--numbers 1-02, 3-02, and 
15-02.
