The next group of !7 Whooping Crane are getting set to leave Necedah NWR, Wisconsin They had planned to leave October 10 but it was raining and yesterday the wind was coming from the south and too strong. They hope to leave today. You can watch the progress of the migration at http://www.operationmigration.org/field_2002_fal.html or www.bringbackthecranes.org. Last year they stopped over in Kentucky and hopefully they will do so again. Maybe some lucky birder will get a chance to see them.
