WISCONSIN - The International Crane Foundation wants volunteers for its 40th annual Midwest Crane Count. The event will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. on Saturday April 18.
The count is staged every spring in six states to monitor crane populations. Coordinators say volunteers will be looking for Sandhill, tagged, and the rare Whooping cranes.
"In the last couple years since the reintroduction of Whooping cranes, they are included also in the crane count, though they're relatively rare," said Langlade County Coordinator for the International Crane Foundation Sam Picone. "There are only about 100 in the state of Wisconsin."
