They are on the move! We love this photo of a Whooping Crane migrating north with Sandhill Cranes over Lake County, Illinois in early March.

Below is the most recent update for the Eastern Migratory Population of Whooping Cranes. In the last cold month, most birds have stayed put and some have even decided to go further south. Although we had our first sighting of the season of two whooping cranes in Wisconsin, hopefully, more will follow. 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. We appreciate your contribution to the recovery of the Whooping Crane Eastern Migratory Population. This report is produced by the International Crane Foundation.

As I reflect on our accomplishments during this challenging year, I have never been prouder of our team and how together we have become stronger, never wavering in our mission in a time of crisis. Long before the pandemic began spreading across the globe, we were combatting global crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. And as our latest Annual Report 2020 reflects, we are making a difference together while keeping our teams safe and strong.
