La s experimental whooping crane population continues to make progress during 2021 breeding season

La.’s experimental whooping crane population continues to make progress during 2021 breeding season LDWF and last updated 2021-06-23 18:58:48-04 Patience has paid off for one of Louisiana’s female whooping cranes that was a part of the initial population from 2011. The female crane, designated L7-11, laid the first egg of the experimental population in 2014. However, that attempt, along with subsequent others for her, was unsuccessful. But this year, two eggs hatched and, as of this writing, both chicks are alive, according to a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) release. The chicks are two of four that hatched this spring in Louisiana’s experimental whooping crane population. Of particular note, 24 pairs nested this spring, almost double the previous high of 13. This increase in nesting is a sign of breeding progress in the project, which seeks to return the whooping crane to Louisiana, the release states.

International Crane Foundation reopens after $10 million renovation

It’s been more than two years since visitors walked the grounds of the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, and the rare and endangered cranes there are ready to welcome them back with their charismatic calls, dances and even a few newly laid eggs.  The ICF, which operates in 55 countries around the world, closed its Baraboo headquarters in November 2018 to undergo a $10 million renovation, with plans to reopen to visitors last summer.  But the coronavirus pandemic put reopening on hold until this year. Now that local and national health guidelines have loosened, the ICF is welcoming visitors back to the only place in the world where you can see all 15 living species of cranes 11 of which are threatened or endangered.
