This evening I got a call from an old class mate who said he was sure that he had just seen a Whooping Crane. I checked it out and it is one of the birds from the Baraboo release. The bird has blue, red and blue bands on its right leg and a white band on its left leg. The bird can be found by driving north from Aitkin for 14 miles to County Road 3 (towards Palisade) and then going east for 2 8/10 miles on C.R.3. The bird is in a field on the north side of the road. Warren Nelson ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
