LINK
Could someone post the pics from the link? I'm on mobile and it's a pain in the butt.
As to the story...
In the comments LDWF says it's 2 one year old males. Flew the route perfectly. They thought they may have followed sandhill cranes, but none were seen with them. If they make it back and breed next year, LA's whooping cranes could really start a migrating population. That's huge.

We have seen, heard of, and documented whooping cranes doing a lot of interesting things but this might top them all. Two LA whooping cranes are in Canada! Yes, you read that correctly, they are in Saskatchewan, Canada, having flown approximately 1,650 miles in 9 days!!

Honest question, why do y'all care about these birds so much?
They taste like shite

I like all waterfowl. I think they're magnificent birds. The naysayers said it was pointless, but this could be a huge step forward if they come back.

Two males. Buncha queers.
Jk we had a pair of whooping cranes on our farm this year. And a year or two back as well. Big arse birds

man, that is very cool. I always enjoy seeing sandhill cranes when duck hunting in Cameron Parish. I sure hope one day I see a Whooping Crane before I get too old to enjoy it.

That's freaking 7mph if they didn't take a single break. Crazy.

that little 3 stop spot they made in Texas...that area is LOADED with Sandhill Cranes!!!
when you drive through there at the right time of the year they have flocks by the thousands in the sky.
it says that they werent spotted with Sandhill Cranes but the fact that they spent 3 days in that area and then followed the Sandhill's flight pattern would suggest otherwise.
Sandhill crane is pretty much the same as a whooping crane except the color.

They could have saved time by taking the new section of i49 north of Shreveport.

Same for the 2 stop area in the NW corner of TX and panhandle of OK. We did a seismic survey up there a few years ago and there were pronghorn, pheasant and sandhill cranes everywhere. Every pond was loaded with ducks and canada geese. But the huge flocks of sandhill's were what was so amazing. You can see for miles out there and there would just be clouds of cranes hitting the ag fields.

On the move! Remember the yearling males that headed north into Canada? One of them, L3-16, is on his way back south and arrived in Kansas last weekend! Check out the map to view his journey since leaving Louisiana on 6 May!
The whereabouts of L4-16 are currently unknown. His remote transmitter failed shortly after the two left Louisiana and he was not found with L3-16 on 31 August.

He is probably moving to Texas like everyone else...
