RAISING CRANES – Entry 1

Here’s an internet posting Craniacs may be interested in.

This one is podcast you can listen to on the website of Radiolab. It comes as a result of reporter Andrea Seabrook’s visit with Dr. John French at the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center.

    It’s the RadioLab piece that led us here…we were actually driving to visit family in South Louisiana when we listened to the podcast and were thrilled to hear about your efforts and the fact that they are happening in both our new home and former home. We recently moved to DC but are originally from South Louisiana ( Vermilion Parish near White Lake where whooping cranes are also being nurtured). Is it possible to visit the Pax River Research area to learn more about the birds and perhaps even see them?

    Thank you!

      The Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, MD has a terrific Visitors Center. You might inquire there to see if they have tours of their facility.
