Whooper Happenings_20

This was the second year Disney invited Operation Migration to be their guests at Animal Kingdom for International Migratory Bird Day on May 12th. Peggy and I were asked to take photos of the kids sitting in Joe's ultralight (a very important job!) and it was fun! I hope the day was educational and informative for many who stopped by to hear about the Whooping cranes and work Operation Migration does. I talked with Beverly Paulan, Operation Migration's Field Supervisor (and...

Whooper Happenings_19

A new breeding season is here, and a number of pairs of Whoopers have already laid eggs. The captive pairs at the San Antonio Zoo and Patuxent as well as in New Orleans at the Audubon Zoo have eggs, and the first chick is likely to hatch around April 16th at San Antonio. This will be the first OM bird for the ultralight program this year, #1-07! I talked with Beverly Paulan, Field Supervisor for Operation Migration, and she has new interns coming to work very soon. We will ask her about them nex...

Remembering the Class of 2006

This is what some of those who worked with the birds said during 2006 on WH. Many of you who listen to Whooper Happenings will recall hearing these comments by those who work the closest to the birds (save Margaret Black's class in Ontario, I used because it was cute! They all loved the Whooper chicks!). If you have a comment, do leave it below. This has been re-edited slightly and several comments are different if you listened to the previous 'Salute' I posted. This on...

Whooper Happenings_18

It's March, and migration has started! Birds are heading north, and it won't be long before eggs start to hatch! In fact, some Sandhill cranes have already laid eggs in Florida, and soon baby chicks will be hatching! We see a number of twins in the early part of the spring, though no doubt the parents often lose one of these chicks. But even later in the summer, we see twins and also in the fall! Sandhills have the advantage of much greater numbers than do their Whooper cousins. No definite...

Whooper Happenings_17 (rev)

The loss of the Whooping crane flock as a result of the storms of February 2nd has been very hard for the OM team, and all of us who loved these birds and supported them! Watching them hatch, grow and learn to fly and then migrate with the ultralights was marvelous! But like anything beautiful and fleeting, it is not necessarily ours, and we must learn that in an instant, it can be gone. Nature took the Whooping crane Class of 2006 from us, but she left us a bit of hope... crane #15-06 (615) som...

Whooper Happenings_16

Finally... we knew they'd all make it, but they are HERE! On December 19th, the young Whoopers arrived, flying over the Dunnellon Airport and impressing a crowd of about 800 people! Only 17 of the chicks made the flyover, as one was missing from the trip the day before into Gilchrist County. However, the next morning, the search resumed, and Richard Van Heuvelen, guided by top cover pilots Don and Paula Lounsbury, located the missing chick, #615, and found him only 30 minutes from the last desti...
