Operation Migration hangar, aircraft vandalized:
The Operation Migration effort that is escorting young whooping cranes to refuges in Florida, already beset by weather-caused delays, received a major blow this week when a break-in and heavy damage from vandalism was discovered at its Necedah aircraft hangar.
These folks used to make an annual stop at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge, and you can spot a migrating whooping crane there if you're lucky. The wings of their guide ultralight were destroyed during the break-in.
Read more about Operation Migration and this incident at their field journal.

The Sandhills are coming in
The Sandhills are coming in on a regular basis now. We watched several vees fly overhead while listening to their chortles today. What a beautiful call they have.
What a terrible and
What a terrible and senseless thing to do. Surely hell has reserved a place for the vandal(s) alongside all the thoughtless bastards who slaughtered passenger pigeons and bison and Carolina parakeets.
