they are the coolest birds. their means of defense when cornered is to get stabby. they aim for the eyes and can punch a hole through your brain before you can blink.

/you don't fark with cranes.

How is one out of 17 surviving a miracle?

Crazy loons.

"God could have made things even worse" trifecta in play?

Let's go hunting.

unfortunately without a mate this'll be the only, and most valuable, bird of its kind on the planet

/time to fry up the grill!

It broke my heart to hear those cranes had been killed by the storm. I think some humans were killed as well but the bird deaths really saddened me.

Just goes to show how cruel mother nature is.
One male whooper and no boobies left for the poor guy...
(in that bunch anyway)

I was rooting against the cranes. I get them confused with the industrial lifting cranes used for buildings. Can't have both, and we need more skyscrapers.

I predict it will die from pollution damage before long

 
HoosierBuff 2007-02-04 06:05:19 PM  
will it be nursed to health and return to become some guys wife?

Shame. I'll miss hearing/seeing them, although I've seen more than 18 at once in a recent (past year) migration.

They sound *really* cool ...

it was eaten along with the transmitter.

The PETA is strong in this one...

how do they know it's not in some gators belly?

It's gonna get ugly when they trace the signal to a pile of scat...

Because you know, God only wants some of the cranes to survive....

Is this the Crane in question?

 
Tatarize 2007-02-05 12:34:12 AM  
Praise God. He only killed 16 of them. That was a very kind thing to do. Why, I hope next time God smites a large group of water fowl... he doesn't kill two! That'll be twice as miraculous.

And yet Mother Nature destroyed that church.
