Annual migration of whooping cranes to Florida begins

CITRUS COUNTY --  The annual migration of whooping cranes to Florida has begun.

This year, a flock of 10 are headed from Wisconsin to the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Refuge. As usual, they'll be following an ultralight plane.

It's day four of the migration - but the cranes were grounded because of fog.

Part of the point of this trip each year is to help re-establish the crane population
