My final count may end up about 220, even a little bit over 220.

It is estimated that between 10 and 19 whooping cranes have started the migration.

It's now in its second year; it's no longer a juvenile. But this one particular whooping crane doesn't know where Aransas is. Its parents never showed it.

It's really abnormal to be there under these kinds of winter conditions. The hope is it's just fine.

It's not into any other whooping cranes right now. When its hormones start kicking into gear, it'll start socializing more and looking for a mate.

We're worried about drought in both places.

If I flew in a straight line, we'd probably be in Kansas by end of day, when all I do is cover 50 miles.

You don't find them, but they're no longer with their parents.
