Per Operation Migration's website:

Follow the story of a record-making 21 endangered Whooping Crane chicks making their first journey south as ultralight airplanes show them the way! Weekly "countdown" reports begin September 4. Then join the chicks' first migration south with daily reports (and Operation Migration's live CraneCam!) starting in October!

If the team finds connectivity at remote stopover locations, you may be able to watch each morning's departure as the cranes and planes make their way south on a journey of over 1,200 miles. The CraneCam will also deliver views of the Class of 2009 in their travel pen after each migration flight leg is completed.
