Stephen > This small family group of whooping cranes allowed me to approach rather closely as they felt relatively protected by the confines of this small cove in which they were foraging for food. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is just beyond the tall grasses that are in the background. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > "Dad, are you finding anything under there?" This pair, a male adult whooping crane, I think, and a juvenile, was looking for lunch around midday in a small cove near the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. I was crouching in the water and mud just inside this cove. Matagorda Island was the largest island to my back. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > A trio of whooping cranes feeding in a quiet cove along the Texas Intracoastal Highway near Aransas NWR. I was laying down on my stomach on a berm that bordered this cove. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > This juvenile whooping crane was really digging in the mud, as was its parent, searching for crustaceans primarily or if it got lucky, a blue crab. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > Strolling through the mudflats keeping a watchful eye out for its young which was just behind it and walking toward this adult. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > Crouching, stumbling, getting stuck in mud up to my calf, crawling on my hands and knees, water in my shoes, but I finally arrived to a part of this cove where I could photograph this handsome juvenile and adult whooping crane. A second adult is just out of the frame to the left. Just past the tall grasses in the background in the Texas Intracoastal Highway and the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > I was fortunate to be able to approach this family in "stealth" mode. My boat operator had dropped me off about 200 yards away on a small island. I walked, crouched and eventually crawled on my hands and knees to a berm where I slowly would emerge from behind the berm to take these pictures. I eventually was able to go over the berm and in plain view, while crouched, take pictures as well. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is in the far background on the other side of the grassy area in the immediate background. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009.
Stephen > This was image is another where I was laying on my stomach on berm looking into a small cove on the Texas Intracoastal Highway. The Aransas NWR is in the background. Matagorda Island and much more water are behind me. This famly was foraging along in the shallow waters. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
Stephen > Off in the distance, I took a picture of this adult whooping crane as it foraged in the shallow waters of a small cove in the waters surrounding the Aransas National Wildlfe Refuge. Near Rockport, Texas, January 2009
