Great Whooper Picture

The whooping cranes we posted about on September 3 continue to make progress. There's a terrific photo of five young whoopers following the vehicle the whooper people call 'the trike'. It looks like a dream. Wish it was ours to pull into the blog here, but you'll have to go to the Journey North website to see it. (Notice how the pilot is wearing a crane suit. If the young critters are human-tame, they will be at risk.)
       What about New Mexico's own Big Impressive Birds? Based on the bird count records on the Friends of the Bosque site, the sandhill cranes might begin arriving any time now.
