PASCO COUNTY, Fla — Sandhill cranes are being hit by speeding cars all over the Tampa Bay area and in some cases, it’s leaving their babies orphaned. Kris Porter of Owl’s Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife said it’s now grabbing the attention of the state. "The impact has been so severe. I cannot tell you how many cranes get hit in a week,” she said.
They're big birds. Lots of meat on them, and fork-tender along the treadmarks, as I understand it.
Salvaging roadkill is legal in Oregon, but laws vary from state to state.
