Pilots Train Cranes to Fly Away Home
IN mid-October, Kent Clegg, a biologist and veteran pilot of ultralight aircraft, was leading a small flock of juvenile whooping cranes and sandhill cranes on a 700-mile migration flight from Idaho to New Mexico when a golden eagle, soaring high overhead, folded its wings, locked on one of the cranes like an air-to-air missile -- and missed! As the eagle circled for a second attack, the big cranes, trained to think of Mr. Clegg as their parent, scrambled to get next to the plane for protection. In the chaos, one of the whoopers became hung up on the ultralight crafts parachute canister and was in danger of going through the propeller until Mr. Clegg cut the throttle, nosed the plane down to free the bird and made an unplanned hilltop landing with the wild-eyed cranes on his tail.
