Barbara and I were recently given the privilege of a visit to the
wintering Whooping Cranes at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge
near Crystal River, Florida. We have been looking forward to this trip
since last year when Sara Zimorski, tracking and winter management team
co-leader and International Crane Foundation aviculturalist, first made
the offer.
Arriving at the boat dock we joined Sara and Eva Szyszkoski, ICF
Tracking Field Manager, for the 8 minute air boat ride to the site. It
was then a short walk to a small 2 story hide, where the pen is easily
observed. Barb and I remained in the hide as Sara and Eva donned
costumes and then attended to the 10 whopping crane chicks.
I have put together a short photo essay that I hope you will enjoy.
