Whooping Cranes Sighted Near Estevan Slough
Irvin Blackburn of Estevan reports a large flock of about 14 whooping cranes at a slough on the W. R. Blackburn farm, nine miles southwest of Estevan. The birds, white with black wing tips, were observed Tuesday to Wednesday night, crying with a distinct whoop as they trailed their legs in flight. If confirmed, the sighting suggests two thirds of the species may be migrating from Aransas Texas to the Northwest Territories this year, marking the season's first possible crane migration report.
