    Are similar surveys using the same analytical techniques used at Wood-Buffalo during the breeding/nesting season?

      Yes, for the Wood Buffalo-Aransas flock and for the reintroduction projects, once the young-of-year crane chicks are considered ‘released’ they are included in the total count.
