Thanks. The Whooping crane is endangered. It is awesome to see how much larger the wingspan is than the Canada goose.

This was a Whooping crane. But you are right. I haven't seen a angry Sandhill before.

Downloads are beautiful, David, and #3 is an incredible capture. Were the birds fighting?

The Whooping crane was attempting to drive the Canada Goose from its territory. The refuge is a federal wildlife refuge - Necedah. The refuge is attempting to reestablish the Whoopers in the park, but is having difficulty with Black Flies emergence in the Spring. Evidently they lose some of the offspring to the large numbers of flies.
They use an ultralight to fly the young birds to safe habitats during their first year of migrating. There is another refuge 80 miles to the South that doesn't have the fly problems, and they are attempting to have them reestablish there instead.
