The CDC and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) now recommend that all adolescents aged 11-18 get vaccinated against meningococcal disease. That's not a radical change from the CDC's old meningitis vaccination schedule. In the past, vaccination of adolescents and young adults was recommended to coincide with specific ages or events, the CDC's Tom Clark, MD, said at a news conference today.
Cool Facts. 1  American Crows congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roosts. 2  Young American Crows do not breed until they are at least two years old, and most do not breed until they are four or more. 3  In some areas, the American Crow has a double life.
They construct nests of bulrush and lay one to three eggs, (usually two) in late April and early May. The incubation period is about 29 to 31 days. Whooping cranes will renest if the first clutch is lost or destroyed before mid-incubation.Both sexes share incubation and brood-rearing duties. Despite the fact that most pairs lay two eggs, seldom does more than one chick reach fledging.he life span is estimated to be 22 to 24 years in the wild. Whooping cranes are omnivorous feeders. They feed on insects, frogs, rodents, small birds, minnows, and berries in the summer. In the winter, they focus on predominantly animal foods, especially blue crabs and clams.
