[va-bird] A Christmas present for birders everywhere

VA birders

From an article on eastern Whooping Cranes and Operation Migration:

"On December 9 a pair of cranes that had been taught the route by Operation 
Migration's pilots in 2002 reached Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in 
Florida.

With the birds was a chick they had hatched in June?the first eastern 
wild-hatched whooping crane to make this migration in more than a century. "

Cool beans, eh?! See

Good birding and happy holidays,
