[TN-Bird] Whooping Cranes In Florida

TN-Birders,

The January 2003  issue of Smithsonian has an excellent article on the first 
hatched Whooping Crane from the Florida resident population. The article is 
titled "Making Whoopee".  Two were hatched but an eagle got one early on and 
the other one managed to survive.  In one eagle attack, one of the parent 
cranes wounded the eagle so badly it required rehab help.

Thought you all might enjoy reading the article.
