The Crane Discovery Center at the International Crane Foundation’s global headquarters is set to open for the visitor season on Thursday, May 1, at 9 a.m. Due to the ongoing threat of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), some crane species will not be on display. Until it is safe to return all species to their summer enclosures, visitors will receive 20% off the price of admission.

Among the many interesting activities I was involved in during my experience with ICF, traveling to Horicon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) to examine a Direct Autumn Release (DAR) Whooping Crane chick was a highlight.
