From the Field ~ Wait for it... Our Aviculturist Jessica Colvin captured this beautiful video of our six costumed-reared Whooping Cranes coming in from their morning flight. The juvenile cranes were raised at our headquarters this year and are preparing for release in Wisconsin later this month. These regular flights build up their strength and endurance in preparation for their first migration south this fall. P.S. Who's that extra crane at the end of the video?

11 more endangered whooping cranes in SW Louisiana

The whooping crane is one of the world’s rarest birds and is listed as endangered in the United States. Conversion of the species’ prairie and wetland habitat to farmland and unregulated hunting led to the decline of this species both in Louisiana and across the nation. In 2011, LDWF and partners began a project to return whooping cranes to the state for the first time since 1950, releasing 10 juvenile cranes into the wild at White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area. Please consider supporting LDWF

From the field ~ There's one more Whooping Crane in the wild! Balerion, or 79-19, was released last night in Green Lake County, Wisconsin, near adult Whooping Cranes 67-15 and 3-17. By releasing the chick near an existing pair, our goal is for the adults to “adopt” 79-19 and teach her their migratory route this fall. The young female was parent-reared at our headquarters this year by a Whooping Crane pair. Learn more about Whooping Crane reintroduction: bit.ly/311Eej1 | International Crane Found

We saw 107 Whooping Cranes today...central SK. Saskatchewan is the best place in the world to see them. In addition, we saw 4 bald eagles, Canada, Cackling and Snow Geese and a pond with Tundra Swans, one Sandhill Crane with the whoopers, and we even heard the trumpeting Whooper call. I was extremely grateful for this opportunity! ❤️ There are only around 830 of these birds in the world - in captivity and in the wild. Their comeback, after being hunted to near extinction, is slow. They only mate
