Here are a few shot of some Whooping Crane from last week when we visited
the International Crane Foundation.
This one is located just East of Baraboo,Wi.
If I understood the guide right this is one of four located in the
U.S.
Sorry these aren't real wild life photos.
Comments welcome

Nice images August. I know a guy who tried to establish a migrating group of Whoopers out west. All he got was grief because of the politics of establishing a population of a protected bird. Nobody in power positions wanted them. Eventually, he just gave up.
