| Joe, Sandy & Tracy spend time at the festival talking to others about the eastern Whooping crane migration project. |
 |
| A family of cranes foraging at the Aransas NWR. The cement block mats are in place along the shoreline to help prevent erosion from the freighters that pass through the waterway. |
 |
| Freighters carrying hazardous chemicals pass by the Whooping cranes each day. A chemical spill could wipe out this critical habitat. |
 |
| The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership is comprised of nine founding public and non-profit organizations. The partners meet face-to-face, twice each year. |
 |
| WCEP co-chairs Beth Goodman; Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and John Christian; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, region 3 present Sandy and Jerry Ulrikson with the "volunteer of the year" award for their work in organizing the 2002 "Whooping Cranes Over Tennessee" walk-a-thon. |
 |
| Beth and John also presented Heather Ray; Operation
Migration and Chuck Underwood; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
region 4 with awards for their work as co-leaders of WCEP's Outreach
and Education team.

| The class of '02 had some very special visitors... |
 |
| In January, Joann and Dan Sprague accompanied
Deke Clark and Rebecca Pardo out to the release pen to see the
cranes fly... This was the first time Deke and Rebecca had seen this
flock of "ultra-whoopers." On January 22, 2002 Deke
suffered a stroke and was unable to join the team last year. He is
working diligently at rehabilitation and continuing to improve. His
presence is greatly missed.
Looking good Deke! |
