About This Webinar
Standing over 5 feet tall, the endangered whooping crane emerges from the morning mist with the echo of its bugling call rattling the air. These large birds, North America's tallest, are one of the original conservation stories here in the US and in Texas. Join Wildside Nature Tours photography leader and Tamron Ambassador Alyce Bender for an introduction to the rarest crane on the planet.
