Flight School in Wisconsin
Each gangly young crane is shipped in its own box. The plane lands and they finish their trip in a van. This chick will soon see that Wisconsin wetlands are ideal crane habitat. Everyone there is happy to help bring Whooping cranes back to this part of North America.

The cranes spend the next 3-4 months in flight school. Their huge pen has both wet and dry areas. Why do you think a net covers the top, and electric fencing surrounds the bottom?
