Operation Migration!


© Joe Duff

Yesterday I received an email from Operation Migration that they are short $100,000 for the "Class of 2006" Whooping Crane migration effort. If you're not familiar with what Operation Migration is all about, you can learn more at their website:

You can donate on-line via PayPal here:

Yes - I want to help the Whooping Cranes!

Or you can donate by calling: (800) 675-2618

The Necedah Whooping Crane population is up to 60 birds (since 2001). Each Whooping Crane represents an investment of about $100,000 - almost entirely paid for through donations. No donation amount is too small - every dollar goes to helping save these beautiful birds. I sincerely hope you'll consider participating in a program that I feel is making a difference for a species we almost wiped out.

The Georgia Ornithological Society has purchased '15 miles' for Operation Migration. We would like to challenge the other state Ornithological Societies to help this worthwhile cause.

(Thanks Mike for publicizing this...and I'm extremely jealous of your photos...I have the same equipment but just can't get anything near your success...I'll keep trying though)
