Young Whooping Cranes spend the night in a fenced enclosure at Muscatatuck during the ultralight-led migration.The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge protects nearly 8,000 acres (3,000 hectares) of forest, wetland and grassland habitat in southern Indiana. Sixty-percent of the refuge land is former farmland that has been converted to wetlands and other natural habitats. The refuge is a stopping point along the ultralight-led Whooping Crane migration along the eastern flyway. In addition to the Whooping Crane, Trumpeter Swans and otters have been reintroduced to the refuge.
