Mike Forsberg, a Nebraska conservation photographer, has been travelling the "whooper highway" for the last month following the migration path of the whooping cranes, an endangered species since 1970.

Forsberg and his three-man team are documenting the changes on the crane's migration path, and the people who encounter them along the way, to show the importance of conserving their habitat.

To do this, the team has been setting up time-lapse cameras along the entire migration corridor. Each camera, approximately 12 in total, will take a photo every half hour for the next year.
