Ultralight Airplanes to Learn the Route
With ultralight aircraft leading the way, a new wild flock of whooping
cranes is being reintroduced to the eastern U.S. Cranes had not
flown there for over a century! Our
fall "Journey South" features have documented these migrations
day-by-day since the reintroduction began in Fall 2001. The
goal is a flock of 125 birds in Wisconsin by 2020, including 25
nesting pairs.

New
chicks are added to the flock each year. Each fall tells the
story of their first migration. |
