At the risk of sounding like a defender of KDFWR ... as stated several times on BIRDKY previously, the reason why no one (including KDFWR I'm sure) *typically* reports sightings of Whooping Cranes, is that the International Crane Foundation (the entity most invested in the project to put them into the eastern Sandhill population) has specifically asked that locations *not* be given out publicly ... this to protect the Whoopers from undue disturbance. bpb, Louisville -----Original Message----- >From: linda craiger <lindacraiger@xxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Dec 28, 2012 11:02 AM >To: birdky <birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: [birdky] Sandhill cranes > >I read in USA Today this morning that the Humane Society of the United States >has called for the halt of Sandhill Crane hunting in KY because of the >reporting of the Whooping Crane near Henderson.
