About the Whooping Crane

The Whooping Crane (Grus americana) stands as North America's tallest bird, reaching over five feet in height with a wingspan exceeding seven feet. Once driven to the brink of extinction with only 15 individuals remaining in 1941, the species has become an inspiring conservation success story through decades of dedicated protection efforts. Known for its distinctive red crown, piercing yellow eyes, and echoing bugle-like call that can be heard for miles, the Whooping Crane breeds in northern Canadian wetlands and migrates thousands of miles to coastal Texas each winter. This majestic bird remains endangered, with every individual precious to the species' continued survival. This print honors both the crane's natural majesty and its storied place in American conservation history.
