Whooping crane migration gear
Handraised babies wont imprint on the humans who teach them to fly wearing this outfit. An ultralight plane is used to simulate mama crane. This is at the smithsonian air museum

ˇhis was so cool Steve. I remember watching the documentary years ago about the first successful hand reared cranes and this was the actual outfit that was worn for the migration. To see all those cranes in formation behind the ultralight gives you goosebumps...no pun intended...lol!








I can see why they wouldn't imprint :) Steve
