Young whoopers arrive in New Mexico with foster parents
Two juvenile whooping cranes arrive at Basque National Wildlife Refuge during their annual migration from Idaho to New Mexico. They travel with sandhill cranes that act as foster parents in a Gray Lakes Idaho experiment, as officials note the program’s potential for boosting rare crane populations. Bitter Lake Refuge near Roswell hosts about 1,000 sandhill cranes arriving since Oct. 8, with large flocks expected by mid November. The project aims to establish new crane flocks, though full success will take four to five years to assess mating.
