Each autumn, the ultralight aircraft of Operation Migration lead a flock of whooping crane chicks from Wisconsin to Florida, through Indiana and Kentucky. My slide program touches on the whoopers' natural history and describes in detail the process of teaching captive-raised cranes to migrate, a project that has been described as "the conservation equivalent of putting a man on the moon."

If I'm in your area, come join me. If you know someone who is nearby, pass this on.
Thanks!

For the birds,
--David

I picked this from David's blog, and I thought that some of you, who might be near any of the tour stops might want to check in with David.
