Louisiana’s whooping crane comeback: five chicks this year
by from on (#3TX63)
In a southwest Louisiana crayfish pond, two endangered whooping crane chicks peck about for crayfish, insects, plants and other food. They're only two months old, but they dwarf the full-grown great egrets nearby. Their tall white parents bugle alarm at an ATV and people across the pond, and all four cranes move farther away.
