Wild Whoopers at the Necedah NWR!

	The twenty-one adult and yearling Whooping cranes from the first two years of this reintroduction are spending time moving about various marshland habitats in Wisconsin, and even Minnesota. From time to time they will return to the reintroduction site at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, perhaps staying for a few days, or they may decide to stay for the entire summer before heading south on their own, later this fall. The best viewing location to potentially see the wild cranes, as well as the new generation during early morning training sessions is the public observation tower, located on the refuge. The tower offers a beautiful panoramic view of the refuge. Don't forget your binoculars and camera!
