Operation Migration by tampa_shawn
The newest flock of young whooping cranes ? The Class of 2007 - is right now winging its way to Florida behind four ultralights on their first migration, after a summer spent training for their journey. Their arrival date is totally weather-dependent, but if witnessing these magnificent birds flying behind their ?surrogate parents? is something that interests you, here?s how to keep updated:
Go to the Operation Migration website www.operationmigration.org and click on ?In the Field? in the left column, which gives daily updates of their progress and will eventually have information on their date and location of arrival (usually at Dunnellon Airport, where they fly over on their way to winter at the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Refuge).
