Cute little guy!

Whooping Crane

L4-17 a female Whooping Crane from the Experimental Whooping Crane Population established in Coastal Louisiana is currently in a rice field on private land in eastern Arkansas. She arrived in this area over a week ago after spending several weeks along the Arkansas River in Western Arkansas. She spent most of the summer in eastern Oklahoma after her release in Louisiana last winter. L4-17 is banded and wearing a transmitter.

Robert, I fully believe this is your best cardinal shot that I’ve had the privilege of viewing. Fantastic!

Wonderful shots and information. I'm very interested and try to keep up with the whooping crane population. I assume Oklahoma was far enough north for this bird or do you know?. Is it alone?

i don’t know but like you I assume Oklahoma was far enough north for her. Yes she is alone. We have a cold front moving through over the weekend and we’re all guessing that with the cold weather she will move further south.

I will have to attempt to keep up with this number. I follow the Louisiana population on the book of Faces.

Thanks Wallace, I may put a blind out so I can get a bigger group all together.

Great that you could see these birds. We have a couple that come to Central Florida that was part of the experiment a few years ago. Magnificent birds and nice shot.
