Fall Ultralight-Guided Whooping Crane Migration
Wisconsin to Florida
Date: October 24, 2004
Day Twelve - LaSalle County, IL
 |
| Brooke Pennypacker takes off with the young cranes from our
Winnebago County site at 7:14 a.m. |
 |
| The take-off looked great but unfortunately the birds fell apart
soon after leaving the field. |
 |
|
 |
| Still with nine on the wing... |
 |
|
With the original nine still formed up behind Brooke, he tries to go
after the runaway crane, while Joe heads in the other direction to
pick up some others that had turned back to the pen.
|
|
|
Eventually, Joe and Brooke head on course with only eight young
cranes. Richard van Heuvelen landed at the LaSalle County site about
50 minutes before Joe and Brooke.
