Operation Migration cranes still in Washington County Watch the skies again today. And follow the Operation Migration website for the cranes' progress There was a brief attempt yesterday, to lead the whooping cranes in Operation Migration from Washington County, KY, to Wolf Creek Dam in Russell County, but Joe Duff's account, "The Ineffective Council," on the official Operation Migration website relates an aborted mission on Friday, November 30, 2007. To read this account, go to the November 30, 2007 Entry No. 3. Click Here The birds are over the skies of Adair County so briefly, but they have made an enormous impact, not the least of which is helping a new generation of Adair County School children value the beautiful countryside their antecedents have enjoyed so cavalierly with a much more sober outlook than their antecedents, who have enjoyed our lands and woods, waters and skies so cavalierly. The birds epitomize hope not just for themselves, but for places along the way, like Adair County, where new generations are putting the lie to the former common wisdom the old ones prefaced with "Anymore . . . " followed by an indictment of most of the younger ones. Through the efforts of those who believe in education as the route to changing self-destructive habits, embracing or emulating the philosphy Mr. Sinclair has used to lead the dramatic changes in the appearance of Adair County roadways, there's cause for optimism. Today, if anyone spots the cranes coming over Adair County, give us a call at ColumbiaMagazine.com at (270) 250-2730. A number of people are enthusiastically watching the flight, including Danny Wilkinson, who scans the skies over the Mt Carmel area of Northern Adair County, and has promised to give a ring when he sees them. Mr. Wilkinson reminds everyone that these to respect the protocol for watching the birds, to view them, but do nothing that would scare them or have them take notice of you. One movie has been made about the manned-flight led migrations. This migration should be a great candidate for another. If you see the birds today, and imagine you are able to pick out bird #733, it will be appropriate to stand at attention, choke back the emotions, and salute the valor of all who worked so hard to save this precious creature.There is a plea for support of Operation Migration which gives important information on becoming a part of the effort.
