Birds following an Ultralight? This scene somehow made me think of Ace Ventura (classic Jim Carrey by the way) and all his wacky attempts to blend in among the animals.

The pilots of these ultralights never speak and are always dressed in their all white outfits when around the birds.

Its serious business though as these pilots and ultralights are reeducating these Whooping Cranes about the business of migrating south (to Texas!) for the winter. With their population dwindling, many young cranes are left without adult cranes to take them on their 1st Migration South.That’s where these pilots, silent and dressed in all white, in.

Wow.
