Whooping Crane Ancestry

10,000 Birds

Moreover, the pair I saw was feeding from a livestock trough alongside a group of cattle. In late January of 2013 I spent some time with a pair of Whooping Cranes just off Canoe Creek Road in Osceola County, Florida.

10,000 Birds

2013 was a strange year for me, staring in the UK, ending in Borneo and spending large tracks of the year not really seeing many birds in New Zealand.
