Early reports estimate that there will be 263 to 269 whooping cranes spending the winter at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas this year. There were 247 whooping cranes that left the refuge last spring to migrate to their summer home in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. Twenty-three birds died in Texas last winter due to food shortages from drought.
