I went to Goose Pond, southern Indiana yesterday and saw three Whooping cranes, two adults and one juvenile. I have visited Goose Pond in the weekends of the last four weeks and saw the whooping cranes every time. But this time, they are much closer than any other time and therefore easier photos. Luckily, I could take some dancing photos. Thanks in advance for your viewing and comments if there is any.
Thanks!

Great shots. I try to get down to Goose pond when I can, I need to retire so I can more often. My first bird book I ever bought, 1966 copyright, only list them out west and says there are only 50, a 2014 book I have still doesn't list them being in Indiana. I always consider it a prize when I can get a shot.

Super! They weren’t there yet in mid-Feb, unfortunately. There were lots of Snow Geese and a sizable number of Sand Hills. Where were you at GP?
Thanks again for the shots.

The staff at the International Crane Foundation would rather not have the locations revealed publicly. I have been watching three for a few years now. They reluctantly acknowledged their presence, said there were more around but declined giving out the locations. Their movements and locations are monitored by the Gps and radios the cranes wear.
It’s better for the Cranes if they are not disturbed by hoards of spectators who may deliberately do something to enable a better photo op. There comeback is a wonderful successful story facilitated by years of dedication.
Check out the International Crane Foundation’s website.
