The cranes are preening their feathers getting ready for the Festival of the Cranes this weekend. Check out the program schedule and shuttle schedule. Parking at the Visitor Center will be very limited. No parking will be allowed off pavement due to the saturated soil. We encourage you to park downtown at the Princess Theater where the free Auburn University Southeastern Raptor presentations will take place. Shuttles provided by the regional transit system ($2 and you can ride all day) will be available. Please see the shuttle schedule and information below. It will be cold outside but warm inside, so come out and enjoy the events and watch the wildlife! Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge Complex
