Mail order bride cranes form unusual match in Idaho refuge
A three year old female whooping crane from Patuxent Wildlife Research Center travels to Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho to mate with a five year old male. The pairing, part of folly to bolster America’s tallest endangered bird flocks, shows early signs of success though the female cannot breed this year. They are adapting, foraging and practicing the distinctive mating display as researchers monitor progress through their windpipe resonance and calls.
