Whooping Crane

Rain Halts Flight Plans(+0 Miles) January 17, 2008: Migration Day 86 The layover pen at Halpata Preserve is ready and waiting. Photo Marty Folk, Biological Scientist with the Florida Fish & Conservation Commission It's raining, so this is day 2 down in Hamilton County, FLorida. With just two flights to go, it's a disappointment to be grounded. Gilchrist County is next, and it's rainy and foggy there, too. Fingers are crossed for a flight tomorrow. The finish line is so close! Excitement is mounting. The public is invited to view the trikes and chicks fly over the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport during their final flight.
