[mou] Whooping Cranes

[Larry Sirvio]

Does anyone know why the whooping cranes in Fla were kept in enclosures?
I thought the idea was to build a second wild population. Somehow I can't
see this happening if they aren't able to fly freely and find a place to
feed in winter without the help of humans.
I'm sure there is something that I am missing here.
