Hello Tweeters,

This thread was forwarded to me by a friend. I believe the cranes using
Coastal BC and Western Washington are all the Canadian subspecies as

Also, John Cooper recently reported that cranes are currently breeding at
the north end of Vancouver Island: NORTHWESTERN NATURALIST 87:146?149
