Well put. That’s why I use a 700mm lens and make no effort to get real close.

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.

Thanks for the remind!
Not just for Whooping cranes, for any birds I take photos, I have tried very best not to bother them. For the photos shared here, a group of four people (we do not know each other) all are pretty far and behind trees. Actually, the cranes were moving slowly towards us. This is the first time we have had such luck among many visits. For pelicans, we almost crawled to the area close for photos.
Thanks!

Try and stay in the car as much as possible or use it as a shield. Don’t see us as two legged and potentially harmful.

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!

Wonderful set! The dancing bird has more hardware on his legs than an astronaut! Thanx for sharing!
