The USFWS and Kentucky Fish and Wildlife announces on behalf of
Operation Migration an opportunity for you to view their whooping crane
migration at the Wolf Creek Dam National Fish Hatchery. You will not
have much more than a 24 hour notice of the flight so please check the
OM web site daily for the flight date. We will meet in the Hatchery
parking lot at 6:00AM Central time the day of the flight.

Issues concerning road closures due to repairs of Wolf Creek Dam have
ended and there should not be any problems about traveling along the

Hatchery.
