Past and potential contributions of captive breeding to population recovery of the Whooping Crane Past and potential contributions of captive breeding to population recovery of the Whooping Crane
A captive Whooping Crane colony was established at the Patuxent Wildlifa Research Center in Maryland in 1966. This colony first produced eggs in 1975 and has produced 252 eggs through 1990. From 1976 to 1984, 73 eggs were sent Io Grays Lake, Idaho, the site of the first Whooplng Crane reintroduction attempt. Canada also provided 216 eggs (1976-1988) from the wild population.

Concentrations of selenium (up to 11 µg/g dry weight in whole-body composite samples) were highest in fish from canals and sloughs in the Grassland Water District (Grasslands) that received large inflows of subsurface...
