Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I enjoyed my January visit with the Whooping Crane in Osceola County so much, I went back through my photos to see if there were others I wanted to share. And of course there were some.
This has to be the rarest bird I have ever photographed, so why not see some more pictures of this endangered species?
If you want to learn more about Whooping Cranes and the efforts to save the species, you can visit the International Crane Foundation here.
These raptors were known as Everglade Snail Kites up until 1983 when it was found the Florida population was just a subspecies of the bird.
The pair of crane babies are just a few days old but already are drawing a lot of attention from photographers and other visitors.
Whooping Cranes are among the largest birds in North America, and these endangered birds are also among the rarest on the continent.
