Summary: I saw on Facebook today that the FAA has decided to allow the Operation Migration Whooping Cranes to continue their southward migration: "The FAA has granted an exemption to Operation Migration that will allow pilots to continue to aid the whooping crane migration. Normally, the FAA limits light sport aircraft and pilots to personal flights without compensation. Because the operation is in âmid-migration,â the FAA is granting a one-time exemption so the migration can be completed. The FAA will work with Operation Migration to develop a more comprehensive, long-term solution." Bird Watching has more here. A Falcated Teal in California is making the news--even in the Huffington Post! Puffin found wandering the streets of Montreal is sent back to the wild. That poor bird is way off course from the Grand Banks to Montreal! What kind of jobs can I expect as an ornithologist?
