Whooping cranes

Whooping cranes
November 2014. The two white birds are whooping cranes. Probably the gray bird is a juvenile whooping crane.

I guess you are right on the Juvenile, I see they are all tagged so presumably there is a breeding program going on.

Almost all the adult whooping cranes have color-coded leg bands. There are only a few hundred of them alive now. Yes, there is a breeding program.

I have never seen one. What an amazing encounter this must have been for you. Where did you see them?
