Whooping Crane Arrival!
December 19, 2006
This morning at 9:30 a.m. a crowd of approximately 500 people gathered
at the Dunnellon Airport in Dunnellon, Florida to watch as three bright
yellow ultralights guided 17 Whooping Cranes to their temporary winter
home at the Halpata-Tastanki Preserve near Dunnellon. After 76 days on
the road the crew with Operation Migration and 17 Whooping Cranes can
finally take a much-needed vacation. Congratulations to all on another
successful migration! Check back later for photos of the arrival
event…
