Whooping cranes are tall, white birds. Standing about five feet tall, these gorgeous birds have a red patch on the head and a black "mustache."
Wetlands.
These two birds are a part of the reintroduction effort to create a flock of cranes that migrate between the upper Midwest and Florida. Notice the transmitters on the legs.

Hi Gordon. I love this photo. I have just started a Spring migration mission, and I would be honored if you would join it. Thank you!! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9036...
Please consider adding this spotting to the Cranes mission. It is currently a local mission, but I have requested to have it moved to global. Thanks!
Those are beautiful birds.
