Sara Zimorski is an aviculturalist with International Crane Foundation (ICF). As WCEP Tracking and Winter Management Co-chair, Sara also helps watch over the ultralight-led chicks during their first winter in Florida.

Using radio telemetry, Sara helps track the new flock's cranes on their fall and spring migrations. She helps capture the whooping cranes when it becomes necessary. Sara is so quick at grabbing the wary birds that her method is called the ZLG: the Zimorski Lightning Grab!

Journey North is pleased to feature this educational adventure made possible by the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP).
