An update on the whooping cranes: after not seeing them for a week, the cranes were briefly spotted this afternoon. A visitor to the park saw them around 2pm, and got in a few quick photos before they flew away. He said he was only there for about five minutes before they took off again. So at least we know they are still in the area, even if they are not putting in many appearances lately. Jill Neblett Nashville, TN Davidson Co.
