WHOOPING CRANES BOUNCE BACK! 
The famous remnant flock of wild Whooping Cranes, after slumping in 1962 with 
no reproduction, has bounced back in 1963! By late November a total of S300r, 
the stately white birds had arrived at wintering grounds in and near the 
Aransas National ‘Jildlife Refuge on the coast of Texas after completing the long 
migratory flight from northwest Canada, among the arrivals were seven young 
birds, the product of this year's nesting season, 
In addition to the wild flock, there are seven whooping Cranes in z0o0s-six at 
New Orleans and one at San Antcnio,
