T40, thanks.  But I wonder where this is in this video... and I wonder what "RC" stands for in the description below the video...

baz - I understood this to be the Operation Migration cam and you would know better than I where it's located. I believe "RC" stands for the "Royal Couple." They appear about 4:30 into the video and they are beautiful! Synchronized flying. Gorgeous.

Thanks T40.  If that's the crane cam, then I guess it's in Wisconsin, since that is "home" for Operation Migration (OM).  I didn't know it was from their cam... they post so many videos taken in different places.  OM does a lot - including tracking the whoopers' fall migration, so I wondered if this might be a video of a pair during its migration...  oh me...   :D

New approach on cranes takes wing

http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/wisconsin/2016/09/15/new-approach-cranes-takes-wing/90377442/


T40.  Thanks for posting.  That is an excellent article.  Fingers crossed for this year - this will be the first year since 2001 that there won't be a ultralight-plane-led fall migration to southern wintering grounds for these little whoopers in Wisconsin.  I'm very nervous to see what happens since no one knows what's going to happen... or when...  I will probably be peeking through my fingers with my hands over my eyes.   8)

baz - They said he was to be sentenced "in the fall." He appeared before this judge, so I assume it will be the same judge at sentencing. Doesn't look like his sentencing is on the Judge's calendar for September.
