The Cranes: Adair Countian Tony Harvey at event this morning The 17 birds and the pilots of the Operation Migration Class of 2007 Whooping Cranes hope for lift-off from Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery this morning, Thursday, December 6, 2007. At least one person from Columbia plans to be there for this spectacular and emotional event. By Ed Waggener "I'm heading out, pray for a break in the clouds this morning. If they don't make it today it could be several more days until the next opportunity presents itself," Tony Harvey wrote at 4:59amCT, Thursday, December 6, 2007. "I'm taking the chance for a flight. I don't want to miss it if they do decide to fly." Tony asks any Adair Countians present for the event to get in touch at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery. Adair County wildlife photographer Tony Harvey has written us that he plans to be at the Wolf Creek Dam National Fish Hatchery this morning, Thursday, December 6, 2007, well before the 6:45amCT for fly-over and departure for Tennessee by the Operation Migration Class of 2007 whooping cranes. Conditions are expected to be good, but there is no guarantee. Liz Condie wrote in "In the Field," at Operation Migration, "It is important to remember the key role weather plays in our ability to fly on any given day. This means that individuals planning to go to the Hatchery to see the flyover need to keep in mind that it may or may not happen tomorrow (now today, December 6) morning. To see the 'hoped for' flyover we suggest you be on site no later than 6:45am. Remember to dress warmly." Tony Harvey plans to take a chance this morning. "I will definitely be heading over and I sure hope to get some decent images," he wrote. He's hoping that Adair Countians take a bigger part in Operation Migration. "I'm running some ideas through my head about some local fund raising for OM's operation and the milemaker program," he writes. That would seem a fair thing to do, given the enjoyment so many get from these and other birds. We haven't calculated the amount needed to support the flight over Adair County, but at 30 miles and $206 per mile, it would be $5,150. Tony Harvey may not see that much raised for the flight, but any amount is appreciated, Liz Condie of Operation Migration says. She stresses that raising funds is not the primary purpose of Operation Migration. "That's important," she said, "but our primary purpose is to make people aware of the birds, to get them to value them, and to respect them." If you have ideas on funding Adair County's share of the trip, send them to us or contact Tony Harvey directly. To visit the Operation Migration membership page, Click here.
