Six wild-hatched Whooping Crane chicks in Wisconsin survived to flight stage in 2018, the most since the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership began restoring a migratory population of the endangered birds in the eastern United States.

The good news comes as the number of endangered wild Whooping Cranes in the west topped the 500 mark, with an estimated 505 Whoopers in a population that migrates from nesting grounds at Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada to winter habitat in Aransas, Texas.
