Greetings! As we move from October toward November, Whooping Cranes are making their way from northern breeding grounds through Texas to the Gulf Coast. Keep you eyes open near wetlands, plowed fields and even pastures in a broad swath from the Panhandle through Williamson County to the coast. If you see these magnificent birds, try to get a photo and submit to this project so we can continue to expand our knowledge of the use of Texas by this endangered species. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone that called and emailed me to offer to look for the bird south of Dallas (LA WC 6-12). We had two volunteers and a TPWD biologist go look for the bird, but they were unable to find her. The good news is that the transmitter data shows that this bird has flown over 5 miles from the lake where it was hanging out, a good indication that she is not injured or molting.
