Despite EPA, Texans can ‘Whoop’ with Joy at Whooping Cranes Return

October heralds the return of the endangered Whooping Crane to Texas. Over the next two months the only self-sustaining wild population of Whooping Crane will migrate from its summer home in Canada to its winter home in Aransas National Wildlife Reserve. Once close to extinction, this federally endangered flock has slowly continued to grow in size and is now close to 300 birds.
