Whooping cranes, sand hill cranes -- all beautiful birds. Thanks to the ranchers who appreciate giving them precious room.

I took an Environmental Science Class with Dr. Chavez-Ramirez and he is brilliant and extremely passionate about his craft and these wonderful & beautiful birds, the Whooping Crane!! So awesome and he has had a great influence on me. Also, no doubt the work he and the team have done on this magnificent creatures will pay dividends for it's increase in #'s and to be enjoyed for generations to come. A truly win win.

This is an excellent informative video. It let's the public learn something about what is being accomplished to learn more about the endangered whooping cranes.I am so glad that this research is being done on the Aransas/Wood Buffalo flock because there is such a large need to better understand this last remaining self-sustaining population.

Shame the sensor is not a lot physically smaller. It's quite large with a long aerial practically sticking into his leg.

Muy importante!

Hopefully they recover completely because they are delicious. Better flavor than chokoloskee chickens.
