Have you seen the Operation Migration Class of 2010 Whooping Cranes? Just wonderful!

More than 700 people gathered at the Dunnellon Airport in Florida Tuesday to see the class of 2009 Whooping Cranes led by Operation Migration fly over.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a $2,500 reward for information on the shooting of a very special endangered Whooping Crane.

Here’s a neat video of a Whooping Crane flying along side an Operation Migration ultralight. Watch what happens when the bird moves behind the wing!

Just before Thanksgiving, the Operation Migration aircraft hangar in Necedah, Wisconsin was vandalized and robbed. The monetary cost of this senseless act was more than $20,000.

Since 2001, Operation Migration has been reintroducing endangered Whooping Cranes into North America.
