message: It is said that a prime location for approximately 40,000 wind turbines lies on the Western Flyway.
Some folks say the turbines are a hazard to the cranes, some say no, others say, "Let's have WC stew" (I would rather have "others" stew). 
Does anyone KNOW the truth ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.63.237.3 (talk) 16:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In The King of the Hill episode The Order of the Straight Arrow. Hank and the guys choose to put the kids through a series of fake Native American rituals. However, Bobby takes the rituals seriously, and things become very serious indeed when, on a "snipe hunt", Bobby accidentally clobbers an endangered whooping crane.

message: I don't know how to edit those maps, but the Idaho and New Mexico populations need to be removed.  Maybe introduced populations in Florida (on the map) and Wisconsin (not on it) should be distinguished from the wild population. —JerryFriedman  (Talk) 15:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The External links section has far too many links so I tagged the article. Four would be the max but a couple of more might be allowed with discussion, however, this article has fifteen external links or almost 23% of the number of references. Links that are improperly used as a references need to be incorporated into the article and the excess ditched. There are also 23 (approximately 35%) of the references that need proper formatting.

replies: text: I tagged the article for the excessive links in the "External links" section and it was reduced and the tag removed. The section is still rather large with content better placed elsewhere. This will be more of an issue when attempts are made for article advancement. Otr500 (talk) 11:38, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If you think some or all of the entries are better placed elsewhere, then do something about it. Agricolae (talk) 20:09, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
