Description
Adult male whooping crane, banded. The male of the 'Johnson pair', photographed in Lamar, Texas. Note, December 23, 2011, I have just heard that this whooping crane did not return to Texas this fall, and is presumed to have died. Those of us who have had the opportunity to watch him in the past several years mourn the passing of this magnificent bird, believed to have been the most prolific male whooping crane. He and his mate raised several sets of twin chicks, including two sets in the last 4 years. Twins are quite rare among whooping cranes.
