Whooping Crane family, Lamar, Texas. It was raining and gray when I took this pic.

Nice. Seeing photo and videos is as close as I've ever gotten to them. We were in Texas in the summer 60 years ago -- never again.

Excellent shot! On my bucket list, for sure.

Thank you. Texas is the best place to see them.

Yes, thanks - the colored bird is the baby and it is with its parents. They were an inseparable trio for the few days I was able to observe them.

Nice shot, Ed. I never got back into the hill country much to see them when I lived there. I could mostly be found floating on a tube in the cold spring water in San Marcos. If you've never done that you should try it once, I bet you'd love it.

We Ottawans like hot more than cold! Anyway, these birds were by the coast.
