Do you give a whoop about Whooping Cranes? We do! Thank you for follow us this week to learn about this endangered species! #SARSweetTweet #yxe #saskbirders #endangeredspecies #conservation #wetlands #saskag #keepsaskwild Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ John Jackson
Nesting whooping cranes choose a nest site along shallow water of marshes, sloughs or lakes. They use vegetation to hide their nest from predators. They don’t reuse nest sites. #SARSweetTweet #saskbirders #whooper #naturesask #yxe Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ Trish Gussler
As a marsh bird, Whooping Cranes are considered omnivores. They enjoy eating minnows, frogs, snakes, mice and voles, aquatic insects and event aquatic plants! #SARSweetTweet #SaskAg #yxe #wetlands #sasklife #saskbirders #saskbeef Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ Josh More
Whooping Cranes will find a mate at the age of 2 or 3 and will mate for life! Which can be up to 28 years! #SARSweetTweet #saskag #saskbirders #AgMoreThanEver #KeepSaskWild #yxe #whoopingcranes #wetlands #saskbeef #exploresask Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ Tom Benson
