Whooping cranes arrive on the Texas Coast

https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/whooping-cranes-arrive-on-the-texas-coast/article_28706db2-fb24-11e9-a1c5-3fcadadf6122.html


An adult crane and its offspring stand alert to a passing barge while foraging on Blackjack Peninsula, which is part of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. Because of the physical size of a whooping crane, about 65 percent of its time awake is spent foraging.
