Whooping Crane Migration (October - ?, 2009)
Below is the video feed of the heroic efforts taking place right now to reintroduce endangered Whooping cranes into eastern North America by Operation Migration.
Watch the video below which often carries a live feed of events as they are taking place. (If there is no live feed currently, the video will not load and you'll see a still picture only). Video is provided with the permission and courtesy of Operation Migration.
Also read the insightful field journal published every day during the migration.
But most importantly, if you can, please help support this effort. For example, you can sponsor a mile or more of the birds' flight over Illinois. What a nice gift.
