Whooping Crane Photo Gallery

Watching whooping cranes dance is a special thrill. As they jump into the air and flap their wings, the freedom and joy in their movements feels contagious. They dance for the same reasons we dance: to court a mate, to celebrate the spring, or sometimes just because it's fun. (USFWS photo)
