Here's a sad story.
Last week's storms in Florida claimed 17 victims: young whooping cranes that had been carefully tended to by Operation Migration, a concerned NGO that teaches the highly endangered birds how to fly south for the winter. The cranes died when they could not escape from netting put in place to protect them from larger, more aggressive older birds. One whooping crane did manage to survive, however, and was spotted mixing it up with two sandhill cranes on Sunday.
