We recently took a boat tour to the Aransas Wildlife Refuge to see the Whoopers in their winter habitat. As some of you enjoy birds as I do, I thought you might like these pics. Our guide said it's rare to see them in flight.

Neat pics! :)

they are beautiful

Thanks! It's zero here this am, so our feeders are busy. I just counted 12 male cardinals + everybody else, including 5 turkeys. Great hobby, fun to watch and no vet bills!!!

Very nice pictures!

Lucky you - even to get to see them. One of these days while down there I'll get lucky too.

Lucky you! Thanks for sharing with us. :)

haha I wrote a report of whooping cranes back when I was little. They are amazing birds.

Beautiful photos...thank you for sharing

They are beautiful birds. We get cranes here and they come back every year and have their babies.
