I don't know how many of you are familiar with the effort to establish a breeding flock of migratory Whooping Cranes in Wisconsin, but it's called Operation Migration. They take eggs from captive birds, hatch them in incubators, and then take the chicks to a refuge in Wisconsin. The birds are raised by humans wearing crane costumes, then in the fall, they are led to Florida by Ultralight aircraft.
They have a website that is really interesting for nature lovers. There are nearly daily updates of the training status and during the migration they post detailed reports of the trip, which takes around two months to complete.
I highly recommend taking a look.
