Whooping Crane Family by dkellogg

Whooping Crane Family

Whooping cranes wintering in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. They are classified as an endangered species. They can stand 5 feet tall and a wing span of 7 feet (2 meters). The young have brownish feathers that later turn white when they mature. This was shot with my long lens at a great distance away.
Wow, I just looked at your exif, it sure is far away! Still you got an amazing capture of these new to me birds.
