Thanks, Carly. As they are in such a remote place, one hopes the cause of death was natural, rather than due to poisoning or shooting (as so often here in Ireland! Shame!).
For the first time in decades, a pair of whooping cranes in Louisiana has built a nest outside captivity. But biologists say they don't expect eggs this year because the birds are too young.
How splendid! Let them practise - and be safe! - for a few years.
Heartbreaking news. It seems Renetta has passed away . SGB alerted us yesterday to a problem and as the day wore on she laid motionless, barely breathing in the nest box. She is still there this morning, not moving and not breathing.
Just a tragedy and so unexpected - no idea as to why as there are no visible signs of distress or wounds at all.
Oh dear! I feel so sad! Will anyone be able to discover why this happened? Had there been a battle or anything? Sweet thing.
