Whoopers are very rare. Great efforts are being made to bring them back. Among other efforts, an ultralite aircraft escorts around 15 of these birds from Wisc to Florida every fall....after just one trip, the birds are able to migrate on their own. More info at

  • These whooping cranes flew in formation with an ultra light aircraft from Wisconsin to Florida. It's an amazing sight to look up and see these birds following along behind the aircraft!

  • WHOOP!

  • Yes it is! I been to the flyovers at both the Crystal River mall and Dunellon airport ,with the Dunellon flyovers much more enjoyable since the cranes are flying over at a much lower altitude and you can buy a filling breakfast in one of the hangars :- ).

  • I am doing a science research project about them and I find them so awesome. I just love anything from the mid-west.

  • There are now about 400 actually. The are still so rare and beautiful. =)

    You're so very lucky!

  • This is pretty amazing... Especially since there are fewer than 100 of these birds on earth. Thanks for posting.
