VA birders
From an article on eastern Whooping Cranes and Operation Migration:
"On December 9 a pair of cranes that had been taught the route by Operation Migration's pilots in 2002 reached Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
With the birds was a chick they had hatched in Junethe first eastern wild-hatched whooping crane to make this migration in more than a century. "
Cool beans, eh?! See
