Naw brah, now I know you lying aint no mallards comin down to Louisiana no mo, they getting shortstopped in Arkansas, Missouri (insert state here)

But seriously, here are some pics I took of the 'drained marsh' you speak of Check out that one crane, these things are very tall birds but it is practically swimming in the 'drained marsh'
This is the place where they are released at White Lake, its fenced in to keep out predators but the cranes can fly off and come back to feed until they are eventually ready to feed on their own. The food supply is then shut off and they are own their own from there. This day was the last feeding for this particular cohort of cranes.
