Today’s scheduled departure for the ultralight-led migration of 20
Whooping Cranes from Necedah National Wildlife Refuge has been
rescheduled for later this week. “Unfortunately, we’ve had to
postpone our target departure date until October 14. We felt the birds
could use some more training. This will also give our crew more time to
get ready for the departure, plus there’s more favourable weather
predicted towards the end of the week,” said Mark Nipper, <a
href="http://www.operationmigration.org/">Operation Migration’s</a>
Field Supervisor. <br>
<br>
This year the field crew is working with the largest group of cranes to
date--20 Whooping Cranes! <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:State>’s
uncooperative fall weather has limited the number of training days with
the birds. The extra days this week will give crew and birds a chance to
prepare for the 1,228 mile migration down to the Chassahowitzka NWR along
<st1:State w:st="on">Florida</st1:State>'s <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Gulf</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Coast</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
The new departure date of October 14 is in line with previous
year’s departures:<br>
<br>
2001: 10/17<br>
2002: 10/13<br>
2003: 10/16<br>
