F & WLS Workers Report
Finding Breeding Grounds
Of Near-Extinct Cranes
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., {IP)—
Two United States Fish and Wild
life workers Monday reported dis
covery of the summer breeding
ground of the almosit - extinct
whooping crane, a mystery that
has baffled ornithologists for
more than half a century.
They spotted two adult cranes
in the marshes north of Great
Slave Lake, one on July 11, one
the next day.
The two scientists are Robert
Henry Smith of Medford, Ore.,
and Everett L. Sutton of Aber
deen, S.D.
The significance of the discov
ery, Smith said, can be gauged
by the. fact that only a few speci
mens of this four-foot water
fowl remain on the North Am
erican continent. About 30 spend
their winters on the Texas coast,
3,000 miles from where the birds
breed.
