This Year's Migration Success! Now that the first group of 2004's WCEP chicks have arrived at Necedah to start flight school, you will be able to follow their progress with regular updates and pictures on Operation Migration's website in their Field Journal. You can read current updates and see pictures of the WCEP migratory flock as they return to Wisconsin at the International Crane Foundations' migration website: http://www.savingcranes.org/about/whats_new/. Many of the birds from 2001, 2002, and 2003 have already arrived at Necedah, but 8 of the 2003 birds were affected by weather and are spending the summer in Michigan. You can follow their progress on ICF's site and on Operation Migration's Field Journal.Their migration photo journal can be seen at: http://www.savingcranes.org/about/whats_new/.
More updates and information on the WCEP project can be found at: Information about the WCEP whoopers' winter and summer homes can be found at the Chassahowitzka NWR site and the Necedah NWR site. |
