I've confirmed this with both the head of the whooping crane program and the Coastal and a Non-Gam Division Chief. All whooping cranes are fitted with transmitters, so LDWF knows where they are at all times. The pair currently using habitat on Gray Estate property are seen by hunters nearly every morning. This is the only pair near Sweetlake.

Mr. Reynolds, I apologize for any confusion from my post regarding the Whooping Cranes I was joking.
But on another note the Sandhill Crane herd in Sweetlake is growing nicely.
