Review for Operation Migration-USA Inc, Niagara Falls, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It's about the birds. Huge, beautiful and endangered birds. Birds of ancient memory. Whooping Cranes. And it's about the people. Extraordinarily talented people. Skilled and self-sacrificing caretakers, pilots, photographers, support personnel, teachers, writers. And thousands of backers who love the birds and want to see them once again in their hundreds.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the successful re-introduction of the Whooping Crane into the Upper Midwest, Midwest, and Southeastern U.S.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

keep up the good work!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

visiting a festival where I could meet the staff and see the young Cranes being trained to follow ultralight aircraft.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

far beyond what anyone could expect in both talent and commitment.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

devote less effort to fund-raising and more to public education and recruiting of staff.

Ways to make it better...

I had had the good fortune to observe a Whooping Crane in my county, where I know they have been seen by others.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

finding the answer to successful nesting and rearing of young birds in the wild.

One thing I'd also say is that...

it has been a privilege to be associated with Operation Migration.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009
