Title: Sandhill cranes’ deaths investigated 11 dead in KY
Post by: Donna on 15-Feb-11, 07:09:30 AM
Birders on Sunday reported seeing 11 dead cranes, and on Monday, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources tells me that they went out and found 10.

There was no obvious visible sign of what may have killed them, such as gunshot wounds, said Mark Marraccini, spokesman for the Kentucky Division of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Some of the birds were sent off for necropsies, he said.
