Necedah, WI – The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin has made preparations to help the whooping cranes. Twenty-one whooping crane chicks have arrived at the refuge from Maryland to learn how to migrate. The birds will be trained by costumed humans in hopes that they will fly south in the fall. This is the fifth group of baby cranes to take part in the effort to restore a group of migrating whooping cranes to the eastern United States.
