This is what is posted on the Operation Migration web site about the
incident - Noel Cutright, Ozaukee County
Investigation of Shooting of #17-02, December 9, 2009
Wildlife law enforcement agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources are investigating the
shooting of Whooping Crane #17-02, near the town of Cayuga in central
Vermillion County, Indiana.
The crane was shot sometime between Saturday, Nov. 28, when it was
observed by Eva Szyszkoski, ICF Tracking Field Manager, and Tuesday,
Dec. 1, when ICF tracking intern Jess Thompson found the carcass along
West County Road 310 North, just west of North County Road 225 West.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officers and U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service special agents are conducting a joint
investigation into the incident. ICF is supporting both agencies in
their investigation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a
minimum reward of $2,500 to the person or people who provide information
leading to a conviction.
Anyone with information should call the Indiana Department of Natural
Resources 24-hour hotline at: 1-800 TIP IDNR (800-847-4367), or the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service at 317-346-7016. Callers can remain anonymous.

The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel is reporting that one of the most
productive females has been shot in Indiana.
The article may be found via the MJS homepage.
To say the least, this is another sad and frustrating episode in the
recovery program - and particularly so in light of the valiant and
sacrificial efforts of the Operation Migration team to help establish a
second migratory flock of this endangered species.
