February 23 - Whooping Cranes

Standing at five feet tall, whooping cranes are the tallest bird in North America. Not only can see you our ambassador birds, Heiden and Angel, at the Zoo, but you can also see this endangered species in the wild at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. This weekend, the Whooping Crane Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
