A New Adventure

I am getting ready to go on another photo adventure

soon.  My travel guide, Mr. Bob, has arranged for us

to get to see the Louisiana whooping crane population

down at White Lake.  It is an experimental group that

has been relocated from Aransas Pass in Texas.  The

Louisiana Department of Wildlife is trying to get a

group established here in south Louisiana to help
with the endangered species.  This is the second year

they have been at White Lake.  Several of the cranes

were killed last year, by predators and disease.  They

are planning to add to the flock to replace the birds, and

the new ones will be introduced this spring. 

There should be lots of other migrating birds there as well..

geese, ducks, and other shore birds.  So, hopefully, the

weather will cooperate, and we will get to see some history

in the making! and some pretty white birds.
