Whooping Crane Family-Part III on Video!

My friend, Jeff Huxman, videographer and co-founder of SolTerra Communications, caught this amazing video footage of the whooping crane family and has allowed me to post it here for you. Shortly after the video begins you will hear a 'guard call' or alert. Then watch what happens!

  4. Hi Monika,
    Thanks for your comment. They were very attentive parents, constantly foraging and offering the chick food, watching over his every movement. The only time they stopped to rest was when he was sleeping.
