I
(Jessica) am standing on the roof of our field vehicle and trying to
pick up a signal for RAY. Dr. Chavez-RAmirez is scanning the marsh
for cranes through a spotting scope. We later captured an adult crane
from a pair. We call the second crane YAY for
Yellow over Aluminum over
Yellow
color bands. RAY and YAY are pioneers. They are the first "marked" birds
of the new Aransas-Wood Buffalo Telemetry Project.
