Keep Them in Cumberland Cty. (+0
Disappointing news: no flight today because winds are from the wrong direction. It's day 2 on the ground in Cumberland County. At leasat the birds are getting rested up before flying over "The Beast," or the Cumberland Ridge of mountains. What's on the other side? The cranes in the photo above are there! Thousands of Sandhill Cranes and most of the Eastern flock's Whooping Cranes use the wonderful wetlands at Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge on every migration. One day soon our 17 youngsters will land there too, one stop closer to their journey's end.
In the Classroom
North is pleased to feature this educational adventure presented in
cooperation with the Whooping
Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP).
