Winter 2007:

This has been the longest migration trip since the project began. The birds are in Tennessee and the migration team is taking a much needed holiday break from December 17 through December 29. WCEP partner Operation Migration, Inc. has a daily journal of the migration and the International Crane Foundation has journal entries from their biologists who are tracking cranes from previous year's releases.

If you're lucky enough to spot a whooping crane......
We ask anyone who happens to encounter these cranes to please give them the respect and distance they need and deserve. Your cooperation will give them a better chance at survival.

Be patient, and in time there will be many whooping cranes using this flyway and lots of opportunities to see them in the wild - but these precious few could use your understanding and cooperation, at least for now.
