Fish and Wildlife Service is given the responsibility by law to recover endangered species. The service will facilitate the federal, state, and private organizations whose common goal is to establish a second migratory flock of Whooping cranes in the eastern states. Additionally, the service has a primary responsibility for operations at the Wisconsin release site Necedah National Wildlife Refuge and the Florida wintering site Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. As part of the overall team, the FWS is also responsible for flyway states coordination, budget development, and project communications.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is the state agency charged with managing Wisconsin's environment; from fish and wildlife to air, water, land, and outdoor recreation. Wisconsin was the first state to officially partner with the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership when the Recovery Team selected Wisconsin as the summer nesting site after a lengthy habitat suitability study was conducted. The state maintains and manages a portion of the wetland complex that will support the introduced crane flock, and has supplied much of the environmental data used to assess the suitability of the Wisconsin site where the cranes will be released.

The DNR is also funding the project coordinator's position and is providing staff and department resources to the project. So there you have it: the nine founding members of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, which brings about 70 people to the reintroduction table. When you consider the number of partnering states, agencies, organizations and individuals that have come on board since WCEP was founded in , we can only hope that the population of cranes in the eastern flyway eventually outnumbers the people involved to return them to this portion of North America.

Early last summer they arrived at the refuge - aboard a private jet, after hatching and then undergoing several weeks of early imprinting and conditioning at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. They appeared as mostly caramel coloured, high-spirited, gangly children; most were eager to please; others a bit tentative and cautious.

Their black primaries lengthened, making them clearly visible when the now not-so-gangly teenagers would take to the air during early morning training sessions. By mid-October they had reached their full height, though they still had the caramel colouring on their heads and necks. They were able to fly for about 30 minutes at a time so the migration south began. The fall journey lasted days, of which twenty-seven were spent waiting for the weather to improve. The cranes were eventually delivered to their new winter home at the Chassahowitzka NWR on November 30, and were joined immediately by crane who had recently returned south on his own, after making the trip a year earlier behind the ultralights.

For days they learned to forage in the salt marshes; they learned that there is safety in nighttime water roosting; they explored their surrounding area and on all but a few nights, returned to the safety of their predator-proof enclosure. Most importantly, they remembered the way HOME and yesterday, fourteen of them returned there - now in their adult "clothing," nearly blinding white, accented by their bold red crowns and black moustaches. They have done what the generation before them did, and what the soon to hatch chicks will also do Crane has not yet turned up but with the battery of her radio transmitter likely nearing, or already at the drained stage, it may be awhile before she is located.

Notes: We've received emails and calls from many people wondering why there haven't been any updates. Truth is there hasn't been a great deal of action to provide updates about. The large group, consisting of fourteen of last year's hatches and one of the HY01 cranes, remains at their southern Indiana location, still grounded by steady north winds. A bit further back and slightly west, crane has made some progress and at last word had departed her north Tennessee location and was heading north toward Illinois, under the watchful eye of Windway pilot, Mike Voechting and ICF intern Colleen Satyshur.

A bit more further back and slightly east of the large groups flightpath, crane , a cry-baby by nature from early on, and one of the two girls that turned back on the first day of the northward journey; was last spotted in north Georgia on April 6th. Persistent rain and winds have prevented aerial tracking and radio signals are sketchy at best in the heavily forested valleys of that region. Notes: The large group of fifteen cranes is currently waiting out the weather in Windiana, much like we did on the way south last fall.

    7. With any luck at all it won't delay them as long as it did us last year and they'll be able to continue their northward trek. Though, considering I had to chip through 8 inches of crusty snow and freezing rain this morning just to get my car door open, perhaps they should stay put for a couple of days.

    I tried to get into the office earlier to post an update and I couldn't - the door was frozen shut, sealed by a thick layer of ice. Notes: The wisdom of age and the people you consider your friends can make you completely oblivious to, or very suspicious of, April 1st. I fall into the latter category so when I heard that the 16 birds we led south last fall had departed their winter home at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge this past Tuesday and headed north, I was doubtful. It had to be an April Fools joke. How could 15 birds flying together cover miles in only a couple of days?

    The weather was so uncooperative on our way south last fall that we would have been delighted for that kind of progress in a month.

    Despite my disbelief, our cranes were indeed winging their way north - and at record speed. Including the bad weather we encountered, we averaged only It took us 49 days to cover the miles from Wisconsin to Florida but in their current haste they could be back home within the week. The only warnings of their impending departure from the wintering site were some short, thermaling flights and a general restlessness only recognizable by the trained eye. There is no fanfare to their leaving; no bags to pack and no long goodbyes. They simply took to the air and headed north calling back and forth to gather the flock as they left.

    Sixteen birds that hatched last season and 5 from the year before all wintered together at the release pen in the salt marshes of Chassahowitzka.

    The major improvements to this enclosure that were made over the summer have increased the survivability of the flock and none were lost to bobcats this season. They foraged in the marsh by day and roosted in the water, within the safety of the pen at night, with the exception of a couple nights. At AM, Tuesday morning all seventeen birds left together but number 9 and 14 turned back, unconvinced that it was not just an April Fools prank. The reality must have sunk in when they found themselves alone and by the next day they too left. Richard Urbanek tries to keep pace with the fast moving main flock of They are following the path we taught them last fall even more closely than the previous generation.

    On the first night out they roosted only 3 miles from our stopover in Terrell County, Georgia where we met with President and Mrs. Carter last year. When they stopped for the evening on day two they landed within 5 miles from where we stopped at the Hiwassee State Wildlife Area in Tennessee. Numbers 1 and 2, the birds that formed what we refer to as an artificial pair, are still together and have made it back to Necedah Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin.

    Biologist Rich King confirmed their presence on the refuge and sent some pictures to prove it. Number 6 was last reported very close to home in Dodge County, Wisconsin and number 7 was last seen on March 17th only 2 miles from the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge near Seymour, Indiana. Crane number 5 who is now making the trip for the forth time, is probably assuring the group of 14 inexperienced navigators that he knows the way. Fifteen is an unnaturally large number of Whooping cranes to be in one flock and coincidently is exactly the number that the species fell to in the 's however; it makes them easier to track than the groups of 2 or 3 that would be more common.

    They will not likely stay together as one flock, but hopefully the cohort will last until they reach Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.

    There we expect them to revert to a more reclusive behaviour and wander a bit before settling down for the summer. Around 35 to 40 Whooping crane chicks are expected to hatch this year at the six captive breeding centres around North America. The Whooping Crane Recovery Team has allocated 18 to 20 of these birds to our project. They will be conditioned to follow our aircraft at the same sites we used to train the last two generations and it should be interesting to see how many of the wild cranes will want to claim that territory as their own.

    If the name of this county sounds familiar, its because last fall we came to a screeching halt there with these cranes when poor weather held us up for a week. Then of course the cranes decided they really didn't want to leave once the weather allowed and a group of supporters who had turned up each morning to see if we were ever going to leave were treated to one of the best whooping crane spectacles ever seen. While the exact location of their chosen roost has not been determined, we suspect they spent the night within 5-miles from last falls temporary pen site.

    Thank you Tennessee! This morning the returning cranes were off again under ideal migration conditions and once airborne, Richard picked up their radio beeps and watched them thermal higher and higher catching updrafts of warm air, which carried them north and over the "beast" that has, for the past two fall migrations, given our pilots grief.

    No word as yet on where this group of cranes ended up today. A bit further south, ICF interns Lara and Colleen were each tracking the two submissive females, that had decided to turn back briefly on Apr. Meantime, if anyone out there happens to see these very special Whooping cranes as they make their first unassisted return migration, please provide them the respect and privacy they deserve, and do not attempt to approach them. Remember these cranes have been costume-raised and have never seen an un-costumed human, nor have they heard human voices.

    They have a tentative hold on wildness and it is in their best interest to fear and ultimately avoid anything "human. Thank you for helping Notes: Yesterday was about as exciting as they get - 17 cranes departed the Chassahowitzka NWR wintering location where they had spent the last days, and headed north. Richard continued tracking the group of 15 into Georgia, where after almost 9 hours in flight, and miles later the entire group roosted in Lee County before departing this morning, shortly after 10am.

    It's interesting to note that their chosen roost location is less than 3 miles by air from one of our stopover locations last fall. So, thank you Georgia - for your wonderful wetland that hosted our returning cranes for the night! Meanwhile, back in Florida, Lara eventually located the submissive , after dark, alone, in an unfamiliar salt marsh to the north of Crystal River.

    Her likewise subservient flock mate, was not located until this morning when her radio signal, as well as that of were detected.

    The strength of the signals, indicated that while both cranes were in flight and heading north, they were not traveling together. Rich reported that yesterday morning at am he detected the radio signal from the transmitter worn by crane This crane, along with its mate, departed their Pasco Co. FL wintering location on Mar 25th and they likely arrived at their fledging site late on Mar. Crane currently has no functioning transmitters, after breaking the antenna on her conventional radio pack as well as on her PTT unit.

They departed Georgia this morning and are being tracked by biologist Richard Urbanek. Two tentative cranes from last year are about a day behind and are being tracked by Lara Fondow, with air support coming from Windway Capitol Corp.
