[cobirds] Update on Sandhill Crane conservation in Colorado

Hello, Birders.

Here's some information on crane conservation in Colorado, in particular as the matter relates to a proposal to allow hunting of Sandhill Cranes in Colorado.

First, here's an end of the year press release from the newly formed Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition:

Second, here's coverage in "Steamboat Today":

(You owe it yourself to read all the Boulder-bashing, down in the comments section. E.g., "Tom, Your emotional outbursts would seem to fit in better in a place like Boulder.")

Happy New Year, all.
