We talk about marshes and marsh birds, and the world's largest freshwater cattail marsh, Horicon Marsh, as well as Limpkins, Whooping Cranes, and other species.

There are 15 species of crane worldwide, but only 2 are native to North America: The Sandhill Crane and the Whooping Crane.  The Sandhill Crane's spring migration staging is considered to be one of the top wildlife spectacles in the world.  Whooping Cranes were once nearly extinct - with fewer than 28 individuals left in the wild.  Learn more about these remarkable birds and the fight to keep them from going extinct in this episode!   Email/Paypal address: Dispatchesfromtheforest@gmail.com   Patreon: Patreon.com/dispatchesfromtheforest   Merch store: Cafepress.com/dispatchesfromtheforest

We hear about sightings of whooping cranes in the state during their spring and fall migration, but how fortunate to be able to see these magnificent and rare birds?

Today we dive into the captivating world of Sandhill and Whooping Cranes with wildlife biologist Bethany Ostrom from the Crane Trust.These majestic birds have a rich history, with fossil records showing them to be some of the oldest modern birds. Today, they continue to amaze us by congregating in massive numbers along their ancient migration route through Nebraska.In this episode, Bethany helps us understand the unique phenomenon of crane migration, and why the Platte River in Nebraska is such an important stopover for over 1 million cranes each spring.Bethany also provides a broader perspective on Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes, helping us to understand how these birds live, from their diets, to their unique dancing displays. She also helps us understand why Sandhill Cranes are generally increasing in numbers despite massive changes to their environment.However, Whooping Cranes have not been as fortunate, with populations dropping to only 15 individuals at one point. Bethany helps us understand how this occurred, and how recent conservation efforts have helped to increase their populations.These magnificent birds are truly a wonder to behold, and we encourage you to seek them out if you have an opportunity. Sandhill Cranes can be found in nearly every state at various times of the year.You can find the Crane Trust on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, as well as at their website.Check out the FULL SHOW NOTES for photos and more.Links From Today's ShowPeople and OrganizationsCrane TrustRowe SanctuaryBooks, Documentaries, and Other ThingsPBS Nature "Flight School" EpisodeThe Nature Makers documentaryThe following music was used for this media project:Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9616-spellboundLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://brianholtzmusic.com Support the show

In Canada, where Alberta meets The Northwest Territories, lies Wood Buffalo National Park, where endangered Whooping Cranes dance, nest, and raise their young. It's a "place of superlatives,” says park superintendent Rob Kent. “Visitors can see pristine ecosystems, 5,000 bison, 150-pound wolves, and the largest freshwater delta in North America.” When summer ends and the juvenile cranes are able to fly, they migrate 2,700 miles to their wintering grounds on the Gulf Coast of Texas.

George Archibald has devoted his life to the conservation of cranes, including the Whooping Crane pictured here. His inspiration? At the age of eight, George heard a radio broadcast about Whooping Cranes at school. He says, “. . . it was this drama of a male and female crane who'd flown the gauntlet to get 2,700 miles from Texas to their breeding ground . . . I never forgot it!” Learn more at BirdNote.org.

Episode: 2064 Seeing what we might have otherwise driven past on the South Texas coast.  Today, let's go birding.

Today, Nate and Evan reach out to Davin Lopez and Anne Lacy to talk Whoopers (Whooping Cranes). They probably don't use that term in the field, but Evan thought it was seemed appropriate so he went with it. Both Davin and Anne are involved with the reintroduction of Whooping Cranes (WHCR) into the wild. In 1941 there were only 21 WHCR left in the entire world. Today there are about 850 Whooping Cranes in the world. Davin & Anne run us through how the situation got so dire in the 1900's. They also discuss in length the process of reintroducing Whooping Cranes into the wild. How do they introduce captive bred chicks into a native population. Then how is migration facilitated with these new birds and how do each of their organizations help.Whooping Cranes are extremely rare and we were grateful to get a chance to learn more about these endangered birds.Happy listening and Happy birding.Davin LopezDavin Lopez has been with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) since 2005. In 2011, he joined the WDNR’s Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation (formerly Endangered Resources) where some of his main duties are to serve as the state Whooping Crane reintroduction coordinator and state lead for the Kirtland’s Warbler conservation project. Previously he was in the WDNR’s Chronic Wasting Disease program where he started as a field technician and eventually took over as the statewide coordinator. He has previously worked at Colorado State University as a lab technician in a malaria research lab and as a zookeeper at the Denver and Pueblo Zoos. Davin was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, has bachelors’ degrees in biology and anthropology from New Mexico State University, and did his master’s degree work in population ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.Anne LacyAnne grew up in Madison, leaving to attend college in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. She received a B.A. in Psychology (1991) and returned to get a B.S. in Biology (1994). After working various jobs while taking graduate level Geographic Information Systems courses at the University of South Carolina, Anne was accepted to the graduate program in Biology at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. After finishing coursework in Duluth in 2000, Anne accepted an internship at ICF, while also finishing her thesis. After completion of her M.S., Anne accepted a full-time position at ICF as a research associate in the Field Ecology Department (now the North America Program), working on an ongoing long-term study of sandhill cranes. She began working with the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership in 2009 to study the ecology of the newly reintroduced Whooping Cranes in Wisconsin.Useful linkshttps://www.savingcranes.org/https://whoopermap.savingcranes.org/

Author, Lecturer and Master Birder Harry Fuller and I discuss the life of Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes, where to find them and where to photograph them. From Alaska to New Mexico, Sandhill Cranes are widely distributed seasonally. We discuss their biology, their migration patterns and prime locations to see and photograph them like the Platte River near Kearney, Nebraska and Bosque del Apache near Socorro, New Mexico. Finally, we discuss some of the beautiful international cranes located in Africa and Japan. Please join us for a wide ranging discussion of some of the most iconic birds in North America.

In episode 1, host Dianna Bell introduced the iconic Whooping Crane—the tallest bird in North America that spends its winter months in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. In late August, Hurricane Harvey made landfall in coastal Texas, ravaging the cranes’ delicate habitat. What will await these birds as they begin to arrive in Aransas in the coming weeks? In episode 2, you’ll hear from the Earthwatch scientists and volunteers who are conducting critical research within this ecosystem—research that could help Whooping Cranes to weather the impacts of the storm.  

Whooping Cranes used to be widespread throughout North America, with estimates of their populations reaching as high as 10,000. But by 1941, just 15 individuals remained. What happened to these cranes? From habitat loss to hunting, Dr. Elizabeth Smith from the International Crane Foundation explains why they fell to such low numbers and what has been done to save them since.
