We removed the panels and tent when all the birds were done. Our group of nine headed back down the trail to the airboats, leaving the newly banded birds safely in the top-netted pen.
After
a couple of days to get used to their new transmitters and bands, the
costumes released
the birds
into
the big open pen. Free at last!
Now the young cranes come and go as they
please. They are learning the ways of wild Whooping cranes.
When
their instincts tell them to migrate north this spring, we will track
them with the help of the signals from their new transmitters. If we
see them, we will know who they are — thanks to the color-coded
bands.
