about

Majestic soaring birds, Cranes are among the oldest species on Earth, with a 65 million year lineage. The Whooping Crane is the tallest bird in North America, and one of the rarest. It has become a national symbol of efforts to recover endangered species, having returned from the brink of extinction, increasing from only fifteen individuals in 1941 to several hundred today. In past years, a handful of Whoopers have come through the San Luis Valley among the tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes on their annual migration. Whooping Cranes engage in elaborate courtship dances, and their duet calls, from which the common name of the species probably derives, also function in pairing and pair-bond maintenance. Paul McCandless plays homage to their ancient rituals.
