They are three-wheeled aircraft called trikes , and the pilots flying them are wearing white helmets and white gowns. That plan might sound like a stupid idea, but it’s not. The pilots are from an organization called Operation Migration. They are helping the whooping cranes learn to migrate, or move from one area to another when the seasons change. The cranes are endangered. In 1941,the species had dwindled(减少)to roughly 20 birds because of hunting and habitat loss. US wildlife officials counted 149 whooping cranes in November 1995,the most since the American government began taking censuses(统计)in the 1930s.Today,about 380 remain.In the fall, whooping cranes are supposed to migrate south. However, many of them don’t know how. “With so few birds left, young whooping cranes typically don’t have parents around to teach them,” explains pilot Joe Duff.That’s where the trikes come in.
