On April 15 I was contacted that a pair of Whooping Cranes had been seen SW of Lake Charleston near the Embarras River. I visited the site meeting other birders and sure enough they were there. It began to rain so I had to leave, but the next morning (Easter Sunday) I returned and they were still there. I had the good luck to photograph them and also hear their call a loud bugling. The photographs showed banding. At this time I think they are probably migrating from Florida to Wisconsin but I will need to double check this.
