A ruling could come soon on the whooping crane lawsuit after a judge rejected a motion to reopen the case.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack rejected the state’s motion to include a report from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Jim Blackburn, the Houston-based environmental lawyer representing the Aransas Project, said Monday.
The report found fault in the way whooping cranes were being counted by the federal agency and in the assumption that birds missing from their territories had died, calling into question the methods of Tom Stehn, the longtime whooping crane coordinator for Aransas National Wildlife Refuge who retired last year, Blackburn said.
The Aransas Project, an environmental coalition, contends that the state took too much water from the Guadalupe River during the 2009 drought, causing the death of 23 of the endangered birds from the last-known naturally migrating flock of whooping cranes in the world.
Jack heard the case in January but has yet to issue a ruling.
