Frank, this was my point from the beginning. Since the Whooping Crane
migration is so interconnected with Sandhill's movement, any disturbance
of the Sandhills could also disturb the Whooping Crane. The defense was
they were training the would be hunters on the difference, but any type
of disturbance could tip the delicate balance the wrong way for the
Whooping Cranes. Running them from feeding grounds during the stressful
winter could be the same as shooting them.

It seems a bit of a contradiction to have to keep Whooping Crane
sightings secret so that nonviolent observers are unable to enjoy seeing
them, while it seems to be perfectly legal in KY to shoot at a Sandhill
Crane that might be flying or standing right next to a Whooping Crane.
Is this not also undue disturbance?

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.
