Whooping Crane Photo Gallery

This pair of whooping cranes, Laz and Alta, were both hatched and raised at Patuxent. Laz, the female in the background, came from an egg produced here, while Alta, the male in the foreground, was brought, as an egg, from the wild flock from Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. They've been parents many times. (USGS photo)
