The aforementioned whooping crane is NOT a whooping crane. I was within 150 yards of this bird and it was definitely a Leuciseic Sandhill Crane, the size and color were classic, no black on wing. There is absolutely no question this is a Sandhill Crane, not a Whooping Crane. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
