Whooping Crane in Watercolor

Image
I'm on vacation in Panama City Beach with my friend  Sandee  and we have been spending the week relaxing and painting.  I've been wanting to paint a Whooping Crane for quite a while and I decided that this would be the perfect time. Whooping Cranes are endangered and many people  are working tirelessly to bring these beautiful birds back from the brink of extinction. If you would like to learn more about Whooping Cranes, check out  Operation Migration , which is just one of the organizations working to save these wonderful birds. You can also learn how you can help save these beautiful birds that are 5 feet tall once fully grown. I volunteer and act as a moderator in the Operation Migration chat room and also to drive the camera at White River Marsh during training and it is one of my favorite things to do. The colts are being trained to migrate south, by following ultralights and you can follow along with them and watch them live on the Crane Cam.
