Whooping Cranes Migrate Through ND

Residents throughout North Dakota are enjoying an early spring and so are some rare birds that are traveling through the state Whooping cranes are about to soar overhead as they migrate back home to Alberta Canada. 

Their migration corridor takes them through North Dakota each fall and spring And that corridor is centered primarily at the Missouri River running from the northwest corner of the state down through the central part of the state said Migratory Game Bird Biologist Mike Szymanski 

The whooping crane is the largest bird in North America The cranes stand about five feet tall and have a wingspan that expands to around sevefake Fake Oakley Radar Outlet cheapn feet Their migration typically starts from Oransas Texas but officials say that many cranes did not make the whole fall migration to Texas Szymanskicheap Cheap Oakley Sunglasses replica says that these birds will start appearing in North Dakota soon.fake Fake Oakley Special Editions Outlet cheapfake Fake Oakley Active Outlet cheapfake Fake Oakley Holbrook Outlet cheap 

I wouldnt be surprised if we see sightings showing up shortly in the next week or so depending on the weather Whooping cranes are less likely to continue their migration in conditions like today but due to the species significant population growth over the past half century sightings have become more frequent. 

They were just beautiful And I have never seen em before just pictures and and stuff And I quick ran for my camera and I didnt get a chance to get a picture but then they flew up across the lake. I took off in the car and watched em as far as I could said Kathy Mernitz with North Dakota Game and Fish
