Until 1955 no one knew where the stately white cranes went when they disappeared each spring into northern Canada. Allens studies of the species began in 1946 and formed the basis Sport Fisheries and Wildlife to give up a plan to take eggs from the nests of wild whooping cranes. In a letter to Bureau Director Daniel H. Janzen, Mr. Buchheister warned that the proposed human and mechanical disturbance could cause the rare cranes to abandon the remote area in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park which, he said, is now the safest and most favorable breeding habitat available to them. The Audubon official advocated better use of the seven whooping cranes now at the New l, zoo for experiments in or captive, propagation. The U.S. Bureau and the Canadian Wildlife Service have advanced a plan for using helicop-;er- s to find and approach the nests in the muskeg wilderness where the big birds go to rear heir young. Eggs removed from he nests would be hatched for the purpose of estab-ishin- g a captive breeding flock, according to the proposal. If the and its management.
