[birdky] Whooping Crane Migration Route

According to columnist Len Wells, in the Evansville Sunday Courier & Press, the route of Operation Migration is being routed further west from previous years.
The route will take the Whooping Cranes south through Illinois then crossing into Kentucky in Union County where they are to spend the night.
Director of communications for Operation Migration says " The route was shifted west because the easterly route was pretty scary." "Going over the Cumberland Ridge, there was no place to set down to retrieve a bird if there had been a problem." They hope that they will have better weather and pick up more favorable winds. 

Currently the stopover location in Union Co. is a secret.

The migration is scheduled to begin in Wisconsin on October 17th.

Further information closer to the October start will be available at:
