Perfect way to lead whooping cranes!

What's the latest, most interesting way to get birds learning to get going on a migration flight. Well, the answer is to have watched the sky in Wiscosin. Recently, people in central Wisconsin watched the skies light up with an incredibly beautiful phenomenon. People dressed up in bird costumes flying in ultra light aircraft led a flock of 9 whooping cranes on the first leg of a 1250 kilometre migratory journey. Whooping cranes, stand five feet tall and fly at a speed of 35 miles per hour.

This innovative flight was an attempt by conservationists to help rare birds to migrate from the Wisconsin state's Necedah Wildlife Preserve to the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife refuge in Florida. A year before, a similar experiment conducted with sand-hill cranes was very successful.
