Hi everyone,
Operation Migration, the group that has taught young Whooping Cranes a 
migration route from Wisconsin to Florida for the past 11 years, has 
voluntarily grounded its current migration in northwest Alabama while it waits 
for the Federal Aviation Administration either to grant or deny its application 
for a waiver to a rule that governs pilot pay.

The birds are just over halfway along the 1,285-mile migration route. You can 
read about the latest developments on our blog at BirdWatchingDaily.com.
