Whooping Crane Photo Gallery

Brenda shows a two week old whooper the wonders of the natural world when she brings him to a small pond. Using the puppet, she'll show him how to probe in the wet ground as he discovers how much fun a puddle can be. Frogs, earthworms, and flying insects are all there to tempt the young whooper and help him learn to hunt and forage. (Photo by Barbara Niccolai, USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center)
