Wild Whoopers On Increase In 1969 Cranes At Aransas Refuge
Regional Director William T. Krummel reports the wild population of whooping cranes rising in 1969. Forty three adults and six young have arrived at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf Coast, with another sighting noted along the flyway. Last winter 50 cranes wintered at the refuge as the species, once down to 15 birds in 1941, continues to recover.
