Below is the most recent update for the Eastern Migratory Population of Whooping Cranes. During August, our wild-hatched chick has reached fledging! A huge thank you to the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Departments of Natural Resources of flyway states, the International Crane Foundation, and all the volunteers who help us keep track of the cranes throughout the year.

Since the reintroduction of Whooping Cranes into the Eastern United States in 2001, researchers have carefully tracked the survival and success of the Eastern Migratory Population (EMP) population.
