    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROPOSED REINTRODUCTION OF A MIGRATORY FLOCK OF WHOOPING CRANES IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES June 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 3 in cooperation with Regions 2, 4, 5, and 6 FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROPOSED REINTRODUCTION OF A MIGRATORY FLOCK OF WHOOPING CRANES IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES June 2001 Authority: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended Prepared by: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Region 3), in cooperation with: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Region 2) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Region 4) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Region 5) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Region 6) Abstract: This environmental assessment considers the biological, environmental, and socioeconomic effects of a proposal to establish a self-sustaining population of whooping cranes (Grus americana) separate from the two existing populations. This action has been recommended by the Whooping Crane Recovery Team to contribute to the long-term recovery of the endangered whooping crane. Alternatives considered in this environmental assessment include: (1) No Action; (2) establish a nonessential experimental migratory population of whooping cranes in the eastern United States with introduction of cranes to Wisconsin and migration to a wintering site at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida (Preferred Alternative); (3) establish a migratory population of whooping cranes, classified as endangered, in the same locations; (4) establish a nonessential experimental migratory population of whooping cranes with initial reintroduction to Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Michigan and migration to a wintering site at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.

  • End of an Era for Ft Gaines and Operation Migration Story and Images by Mike Ramy (
    End of an Era for Ft Gaines and Operation Migration Story and Images by Mike Ramy (www.mikieproductions.com) Operation Migration has played a lead role in the reintroduction of endangered Whooping Cranes into eastern North America since 2001. In the 1940's the species was at the brink of extinction, reduced to just 13 birds world wide. Using ultralight aircraft, Operation Migration pilots act as surrogate parents and guide captive-hatched Whooping Cranes along a planned migration route beginning in Wisconsin and ending at their wintering destination in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. The idea for Operation Migration began in 1993 by Bill Lishman and Joe Duff who conducted the first ever human-led migration of birds. At the time, Duff was an ultralight pilot and a successful commercial photographer. The two artists-turned-biologists imprinted 18 Canada geese and, in the fall, they used two ultralights to lead them from Purple Hill in Ontario, across Lake Ontario, to the Environment Studies Division of Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia. Sixteen of those birds survived the winter and thirteen returned on their own the following spring. In 1995 Lishman and Duff formed a limited company called ‘In The Sky Productions’ and contracted with Columbia Pictures to produce the 1996 film “Fly Away Home”, starring Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin. In The Sky Productions provided the story rights, the wildlife permits, the geese, the flying and even some of the cinematography for the popular film. For the past 15 years Operation Migration has been instrumental in the reintroduction of the once extinct eastern migratory route that has helped increase the numbers of Whooping Page 1 of 3 Cranes to over 600 today.

  • Eastern Crane Bulletin, March 2018 Issue, Pp.9-10
    March 2018 The Eastern Crane E-bulletin is distributed to those interested in cranes in general, and specifically, the Eastern Populations of Sandhill and Whooping Cranes, as well as the continuing work for the protection of these birds and their habitats. ............................................................................................................................................................. Eastern Migratory Population of WHOOPERS Tackling Whooping Crane chick mortality Excerpt from the International Crane Foundation, 2017 Annual Report “Reintroduced Whooping Cranes are now nesting in Wisconsin. They are successfully laying eggs and hatching chicks. Unfortunately, we are losing far too many of these chicks to predators. Our biologists are concerned that Whooping Cranes raised by humans may be less adept at protecting their chicks from predators than Whooping Cranes raised by actual cranes. this past year marked the first year we could rear the entire cohort of chicks with their Whooping Crane parents, rather than with surrogate parents (humans) in costumes. Interactions with human handlers were greatly minimized during the captive period prior to release. Our aviculturists helped assess appropriate release locations, conducted the releases, and then monitored the released chicks. They were then tracked with their adult migration guides to learn more about this reintroduction technique. The information we collect from these releases will help us learn more about how chicks fare in the wild, and whether their rearing method is a factor in their survival.” Conservation and cranes From the International Crane Foundation / Notes from the President, December 2017 Conservation is likewise about finding balance in challenging circumstances – that elusive balance that results in win-win solutions for people and wildlife and thereby builds broad public support for conservation.
