Dear Tn-birders and interested supporters:

There is now a way for any individual to contribute to the USFWS Reward Fund
for the November 2013 shooting deaths of the Hopkins Co. Whooping Cranes.

While USFWS accepts pledges from organizations and large groups they do not
have the staff capability to manage individual pledges. However, Operation
Migration accepts donations (both credit card and check) to the reward fund.
Details on how to go about contributing are posted on the Kentucky Coalition
for Sandhill Cranes site. kyc4sandhillcranes.com
<http://kyc4sandhillcranes.com/>

Individuals need to indicate in the notes box that their donation is for the
REWARD FUND. 
https://secure.operationmigration.org/np/clients/om/donation.jsp
If contributing by check please write REWARD FUND on the memo line.

According to Heather Ray of Operation Migration, the designated donations
will be held in a reward fund for the Kentucky killings until such a time
they need to be paid. If no one comes forward in the Kentucky killings the
money will be used towards a reward in any other WHCR killings that may
happen. If after 5 years, when the statute of limitations ends for
prosecution in the KY case, and no rewards have been offered, the donations
will be used by Operation Migration for education and outreach to teach
about Whooping Cranes.

Please consider joining the efforts by USFWS in the apprehension and
conviction of the thrill-killer. Those were OUR Whooping Cranes that were
shot and killed.

Anyone with information about the killings is urged to contact Special Agent
Bob Snow at (502) 582-5989, ext. 29
<tel:%28502%29%20582-5989%2C%20ext.%2029> , or the Kentucky Department of
Fish and Wildlife Resources dispatch at 1-800-25ALERT (800-252-5378
<tel:%28800-252-5378> ).
