    My husband and I watched the whooping cranes in Corpus Christi, Texas. Now, as returning Midwesterners we ar happy to learn that Goose Pond have some migratory Whooping Cranes who visit. We’d like to learn more about when they are expected to come through Indiana in Spring 2022.

    I ordered a t-shirt from the store recently and received an incorrect shirt today. Can you give me an email for the store people? Thanks,

    We recently visited Goose Pond and really enjoyed the displays in the visitor’s center. Great job in putting that together!!! We have a suggestion to make it even better….install some cameras in the areas most often frequented by the birds and wildlife with a feed back to monitors in the visitor’s center. That would be a way of increasing the viewing opportunities without disturbing the crittters with frequent human presence. Is that a possibility? Maybe you could start a special funding campaign to help make that happen and support it.
