Last week, Friends of the Wild Whoopers (FOTWW) reported results of the whooping crane nesting survey completed by Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) officials. They located 32 whooper fledglings during their survey. WBNP officials also sent FOTWW some photographs of the whooping crane nesting area.
Most people will never get to visit WBNP, Canada. And for those few who do, they will not likely get to visit the vast wetlands where the whooping cranes nest and rear their young. So for those folks who can’t make the journey, FOTWW is providing an array of photos of WBNP nesting grounds.

In the first photo below, taken by John McKinnon, you are able to see the vast number of ponds used by the whooping cranes for their nests.
