"A Family Tradition for 133 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 5, 1999 - 19 CE re r-- ot a Sh TR SS i am---- AT I ee a em I SY. ke 5 MS 0 <n AE i BE var orient 3a Operation Migration to work in U.S. T From page 1 to those undertaken by Operation Migration in past experiments. The birds will be hatched and, before they're capable of flight, taught to identify with and follow the ultra- light aircraft. Mr. Lishman and two other pilots will regularly fly with the birds, hoping eventually to guide them from Wisconsin to Florida. Once that's done, the Operation Migration folks can do little but wait for the birds to fly back to their northern home in the spring. Next year they will guide a flock of Sandhill cranes from Wisconsin to Florida to establish a safe and suitable route, which would include spots at which the birds can stage and rest on the long jour- ney. Crane flight set for 2001 It is hoped that the first flight involving Whooping cranes will take place in 2001. | The vote of confidence by the Wisconsin centre -- where they have at least one breeding pair of all 15 species of cranes, nine of which are endangered -- is a huge boost to Operation Migration, said Ms Ray.

"They now feel we're credible enough for them to place this flock of cranes in our hands." The Whooping crane project will be expensive. It's expected to cost as much as $250,000 a year for each of its five years. Funding from the U.S. government and corporate sponsors is currently being sought, said Ms Ray. Re-establishing migratory behaviour Those involved hope that by the end of that time, the project will have created an independent, wild flock of cranes whose natural migratory and breed- ing patterns will have been re-established. The effort will involve 15 to 20 people, and three flocks of six or seven birds. Ideally, "The young chicks will start following their parents, who we have trained," said Ms Ray. Long considered an icon of endangered species in North America, the Whooping crane has made a slow recovery back from the brink of extinction. From a flock of just 16 birds in the 1940's there are fewer than 200 wild migratory birds in existence now, and an equal number of non-migratory whoop- ers in captivity in Canada and the U.S. Herbally Yours Health Foods er Natural Products "HERBALLY YOURS BRAND" VITA ; IN C (ASH $6.99 500 mg 100 caps am 03] 122 PRODUCTS OF THE MONTH Canadian Made & Quality at Competitve Prices.
