In the past few months, you have read many of my posts involving the endangered whooping crane and many of you have become supporters of this worthy cause. As a result, the whooping crane fan club is growing and just in the nick of time. A few weeks ago Operation Migration notified the public that the FAA is requiring the organization to purchase three new ultralight planes in order to continue with the migration program for next year. The planes they use must now comply with the Special Light Sport Aircraft category. They are in the middle of a major fundraiser. The clock is ticking.

I connected with Florida reporter Linda Schilling Mitchell and she immediately jumped on the whooper bandwagon and published one of the best articles I’ve ever read on whooping cranes and Operation Migration. The article appeared in the Pineapple Post. Click on to Linda Schilling Mitchell and the “newspaper” tab and then the “Jensen Beach” and it will pop up. Double click on the article to enlarge.
Thanks, Linda!
Wow, Linda Schilling Mitchell, wrote a great article. Very informative with valuable photos. I love the photo on page 3, as it really illustrates the great lengths humans have to go to in order to "Educate" and bond with these Crane youngin's. I hope Operation Migration adds this article to their arsenal of educational materials. Bravo!
Thanks for stopping by, Mike. There are a lot of folks pulling for the cranes and for OM. We know they will make their goal!
I posted this amazing video on my FB page and I'm so glad you brought this important cause to my attention!
Thanks so much, Nancy. Linda and I and a bunch of other craniacs (lovers of whooping cranes) are doing our best to spread the word.
As a passionate "defender of wildlife," you give me, and so many others who feel the same way, so much hope.
Thanks, Patricia. With more than 6 billion people and counting, wildlife needs all the help they can get.
