From the Field:
Video Clips of the Work at Patuxtent WRC
It’s
a rare thing to hear or see a Whooping crane, but video clips make
it possible. These were taken at Patuxent
Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) in Maryland. (This is where
most of the ultralight-led crane chicks have been hatched.) The speaker
is
Dr. George Gee.
