10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 26, 2013

In late January of 2013 I spent some time with a pair of Whooping Cranes just off Canoe Creek Road in Osceola County, Florida. But most importantly its vital to reflect on how close we came to losing an incredible species. Today only 19 members of this dwindling flock remain. I reported the color-coding of the birds that I saw.
