Whooping Crane Question #10
Date: Fri Apr 21 2006 - 16:41:00 EDT
Dear Journey North,
Crane pair #101 and #202 is the pair that nested in 2005 and 2006 and has not yet learned how to keep their eggs safe. It seems that they keep leaving the nest unattended, and either the eggs get cold so the chicks inside die or a predator gets the eggs while the parents aren't watching over them. They need to learn to make sure that at least one parent stays with the eggs at all times to keep them safe and warm. Another problem cranes have to be careful about is accidentally stepping on their eggs and crushing them.
