Whooping Cranes following the ultralight
This is a very exciting day for those of us here in Florida who love the spectacular Whooping Cranes.
The young ones have just arrived at their ”Crane College” today in Wisconsin from the
Patuxent Wildlife Research
Center in Laurel, Maryland and will spend
the summer
getting a complete
”Crane Education.”
In the Fall, after their
“training” is finished, these beauties will
begin their migration south, or Operation
Migration, following the
ultralight on the long journey to their winter home here
in Florida.
Florida is famous for its
Snowbirds and these Endangered beauties are
just another
example of why so
many love to come down here every year
and spend their winters in paradise.
When the young
birds finally do get here in the Fall,
people will come from all over the country
to see them in their
winter homes at the
Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge on Florida’s Gulf or West
Coast, near Tampa.
So, until we see you in
September babies, listen to your teachers
and play nice with the other kids~
