International Crane Foundation

After the excitement of seeing the wild Whooping Cranes, we drove to Baraboo, WI to see the International Crane Foundation (http://www.savingcranes.org/ ). They have on display specimens of all 15 worldwide crane species. Besides seeing these unusual birds, I was also hoping to get some close-up shots of Whooping Crane.

I ended up with photos of 12 species, including my Whooper close-ups – the other 3 must have been hiding from the cold windy weather!
