The whooping cranes are now in Morgan County in Indiana. The birds will
probably be flying to Muscatatuck on Sunday, Nov. 2, weather permitting. The
following email tells of watching the birds as they leave the refuge.

This is from Operation Migration:
Once we do get moving again, you are invited to come out to the Muscatatuck
National Wildlife Refuge near Seymour, Indiana for an opportunity to witness an
early morning departure, and to view this historic reintroduction effort in
action.
Who: Sixteen Whooping crane chicks, guided by Operation Migration
ultralights.
What: Public flyover and photo opportunity.
Where: Muscatatuck NWR: From Hwy 50 east of Seymour, use refuge main
entrance and proceed approximately 4.5 miles. Sandhill Pond parking lot is
located on
the west side of the road and will provide a probable vantage point on
departure morning.
When: *We are currently two stops away from this location. Once we arrive
there, we'll update this Field Journal to let you know what the chances are for
a departure the next morning... Stay tuned!
* Please remember that weather will be the deciding factor. Weather delays
are possible, which would push the event to a later date - We'll do everything
within our power to notify you as soon as possible, however, given the unknown
nature of the ever-changing fall weather, we ask that you please be flexible
(and forgiving?).*
