Whooping cranes!

I've seen these five, three out of the past five days. Was able to get some pics. They are an amazing sight.

Very cool. Seen my first sandhill cranes this year. Wouldn't have know what they were if it wasn't for you.

That is awesome, Jay!

I saw my one and only whooper way back in 1999 at Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexcio. It was being stalked by a coyote. That was before I worked for FWS and I laughed pretty hard. Now that I work for FWS, I wouldn't laugh as hard, but I would still chuckle!

Thanks guys! Went back this morning and had the best photo session yet! 7 whoopers in front of us and eagles overhead. I'll be posting pics up at Flohr's Fotos later tonight or tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak.......
