Hello all:
This is really great that these cranes are being sighted! I will let
Wisconsin DNR know. However, if you go out to observe, please keep the
following in mind:
The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP) asks anyone who encounters a
whooping crane in the wild to please give them the respect and distance they
need. Do not approach the birds on foot
within 600 feet; try to remain in your vehicle; do not approach in vehicle
within 600 feet or, if on a public road, within 300 feet. Also, please
remain concealed and do not speak loudly enough that the birds can hear
you. Finally, do not trespass on private property in an attempt to view
whooping cranes.
The folks with WCEP have gone to great lengths to restore this species and
to keep the reintroduced birds wild. Please follow their recommendations
for the safety of these birds. Thanks and happy birding!

Subject: [birdky] BKY: 2 Whooping cranes in KY
There are 2 Whooping Cranes on the ground near Boston, KY. From I-65 take
exit 105 and turn toward Boston. Drive to a T-intersection and take a left
onto
KY highway 62, drive a short distance and turn right onto highway 733. Go
about .6 mile and the cranes were in a cornfield on your left. This road is
narrow and there is no place to put off. Please use caution. DeLorme map
page
49, quadrants C,6-7.
The cranes are somewhat leery so please remain in your car. They were
present this morning at about 9:30 a.m. EST.
