Parent-Reared Whooping crane #26-17 (F) is migrating south!
We believe she is traveling with 4-14 (Peanut) and 11-15 but cannot confirm. Why do we think this?
Firstly, n the past two weeks she was seen on a number of occasions associating with these two males at her release location in Marquette County, WI.
Secondly, the location her GSM remote tracking device placed her late yesterday is a known stopover for #11-15 during his north-south travels.
The young female Whooping crane traveled approximately 170 miles yesterday.
I hope they are traveling together and wish and hope for a safe migration. Fair winds sweet birds. We are all pulling for you to arrive safely.
Oh how exciting! 170 miles?! She is strong and has been smart about who she chose to travel with. Survival of the fittest #26-17 and you are off to a fantastic start. Waiting anxiously in the south for your arrival.
This is so excited news thay are on there way to st marsh hope thay all have a safe trail
