Whooping Cranes Return to Wheeler
 
We are pleased that five of the nine 2011 Operation Migration ultra-light led Whooping cranes have returned to Wheeler. It is turning out to be a great winter for viewing Whooping Cranes!  We are seeing up to seven Whoopers daily in the fields surrounding the Visitor Center and Wildlife Observation Building.  We’ve also counted over 7,000 Sandhill cranes and 10,000 ducks in this same location.
