Whooping Crane

(Grus americana)

Description:

One crane has captured a Blue Crab, its favorite prey and is watching the other show too much interest in its food. These are not likely mated cranes. My third day of exploration of Aransas NWR was a memorable one. I boarded the tour boat the “Skimmer” and got schooled by Captain Tommy Moore on a three plus hour cruise of the back-bays and waterways beyond the view of the public from the tour roads on the reserve.
