Observation details
Very large snow white crane, long black legs, black primaries, black on head but we couldn’t see red on top of head. Body was about the size of a pelican and I have a photo of them near each other. I used to record whoopers among sandhill crane flocks during migration in Wyoming when we had an experimental population there so I’m familiar with them. I can send photos but it was mid-afternoon, across the Main Pond from us, and all I had was my spotting scope and iPhone. (Update: I uploaded 2 photos, one with a pelican nearby at the same distance to show size comparison, the other showing the black primaries. Also, neither my birding partner, Leslie Nyce, nor I saw leg bands or wing tags.)
