Whooping Crane

(Grus americana)

Description:

Young Whooping Cranes cranes are mottled in a reddish cinnamon color, but by the time their first winter passes they are all white like their parents. Hurricane Harvey, in 2017, hit Port Aransas (Texas) hard. The beginning stages of rebuilding the Port Aransas Nature Center’s boardwalk began with a 1500′ footpath, but there are plans to extend it to about three miles.
