Our guide told us that the same cranes come back to the same areas every year; they've named each family; each family has a "ranch" that only they can claim. They're such amazing birds. They're expecting a record number this year.

I love the cranes. For my birthday my husband and I spent the day in the Sacramento Valley with the Sandhill cranes. It is so hard to get a good picture of them with my camera but they look wonderful in the binoculars. Thanks for sharing this. I hope to make it to Aransas someday to see the whooping cranes for myself.
