Birders, I hope this an appropriate and welcome topic for this list. Below is an update from Bob Russell on the Ontario Whooping Cranes. Please direct any reports to Bob, at his e-mail address listed here. The attachment referred to is a JPG of a map, but the way it was attached to the message to me, I couldn't open it. I wouldn't have forwarded that anyway as attachments are not allowed on this list.

If you'd like to post another one to Ontario Birds please do! I'm betting they end up in Seney and I've got the latitude right now!! Not sure if they allow the attachment (probably not). Bob Russell Southeastern Ontario: PTT readings for no. 1-03 indicated that the group composed of nos. 1-03, 9-03, and 18-03 had arrived in the northern interlake region of southern Ontario by 11 April. They had last been reported in flight along the south shore of Lake Erie near Ripley, Chautauqua County, New York, on 6 April. The group was next reported from the flooded corner of a hayfield west of Holland Centre, Grey County, Ontario, on 13 April. They left that location on the following day. PTT readings for no. 1-03 indicated that they then moved east of Georgian Bay and northward toward the Quebec border. They apparently roosted at an undetermined location within this area on the night of 16 April (attached map).
