Hope To Save Species From Sandhill Foster Care
Three or four sandy colored young whooping cranes, hatched by sandhills in Idaho, were airborne over the American West in an experiment to save the species. They were en route to the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge near Alamosa to join foster parents for days of feeding and rest before finishing their winter migration south. Violet Soll, a Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman, said the birds show the sandhills accept the foster chicks, answering whether the sandhills would kill the strange youngsters. This is the first result of a joint experiment aimed at boosting whooping crane recovery.
