  • Thanks for the invitation Carol - I really enjoyed the album. I have seen TV shows about this migration, but I am sure it is even more amazing to see live. Thanks for sharing. Thanks also for your kind comments on my Mt. Vernon album. I don't know how you did it, but I truly believe that you were able to post those comments even before I had uploaded the album today. Thanks again. My wife and I just returned froma 2 week trip to Belize. Give me few weeks to process and make selections, and I will have photos posted from there. I invite you back. Mike

  • To the Alberts -- I came here from Operation Migration to look at your photos. Thank you so much for sharing these with us Craniacs who live far from Florida. I am originally from Wisconsin -- the other end of this amazing journey -- and transplanted now to the State of Washington and am only able to enjoy this vicariously. Your photos and videos brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much.

  • Hi Carol! This is awesome! I have never heard of or seen anything like this. It is truly amazing to see the cranes following the microlites! It must have been quite an experience on a chilly morning. You have captured the sequence so well. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Suresh

  • Dearest Carol, it must be fantastic to witness this amazing event and to see the beautiful Whooping Cranes as they are migrating!! I am delighted you were here to see this! I can imagine it is very exciting to see these beautiful birds! It would be similar to my great excitement to see the magnificent Sandhill Cranes and Trumpeter Swans I am sure!! I am so happy to also see the note here from one of the members of Operation Migration, that is so wonderful! I wish you a beautiful evening! Sharon

  • I just visited their website and this is indeed a major undertaking and what a dedication to saving the Whooping Crane. I will be reading more later I need to take a break from the "PUTER" & get my daily exercise. Thank you so much for your coverage of this event and your great presentation I loved every minute of it.
