Whooping cranes sighted near Gibbon Nebraska
Nebraska biologist Jim Hurt reports what appears to be the year's first sighting of whooping cranes in the state. Two birds, an adult and a juvenile, were seen on a Buffalo County farm eight to 10 miles northwest of Gibbon. The markers on the juvenile suggest origin from a herd in northern Alberta. There are 114 wild whoopers known, 26 in captivity. The report notes the birds are rare North American cranes with distinctive calls.
