Whooping Crane's

Almost three year's ago I was talking about the whooper's being on my place but didn't know how to post, I kinda learned some.

Sorry about sorry pic's, cheap camera. They sure awesome!! And TALL.

Thanks for the pics nice to still see them. I remember when the population was less than a total 75. Still struggling today with an estimated 599 birds.

whoop

Yep Walkabout, only around 300 mating pair left in the world.

Thank's dc, a little late with the pic's.

Walkabout, at one point, had 9 here, 9, that's a whole bunch when you think about it. Felt some what privileged to tell you the truth.

And those are two adult's with a juvenile, the one with a brown looking head.

Thanks for sharing

Cool!! I've seen a group of 5 fly over me around port a a few years back but have never seen any on the ground

You're pretty fortunate to have that happen. That's pretty great.

yeah Sneaky that's for sure, the first time I seen them they were nearly in my front part of the yard. And I said thems whoopers, no cant be, yes by gosh them are, it took awhile for it to sink in.

Cool big birds, thanks for sharing

Figured ya'll might like them just wish I had a better camera for gooder picture's. lol

Found another sorry so far away, but this was when all nine were here. Plus you are not supposed to get to close to them, it's a federal law not to harass them.

You do need a better camera.. this was shot with a $300.00 Canon PowerShot SX40 HS which is what I shoot most all my video and photographs with. The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is the current PowerShot and it is even better at about the same price range.

And just so you know.. my canon Powershot is always set to "auto" (idiot mode) because I don't know nuttin' about birthin' no babies Mrs Scarlett..

Thank you BarzosHunter, cause I don't know nutthin about camera's. Those are some great picture's.

Just like that whooping crane
That has one wife for all his life
And she dies he'll do the same

Cool pix but now that song is stuck in my head.
