Default Whooping Cranes in Ville Platte
Went to go check out a rice field lease with a buddy of mine and 4 of the newly released whooping cranes have made a home there. I got a few pics of them. You can see the transmitters attached to their legs. Them things are big!!!

Extremely endangered. They used to have to get into a bird suit just so the birds never came in contact with humans
