It's Whooper Wednesday!

Whooping cranes are very large birds, but they are still birds made up of feathers and hollow bones so they might not weigh as much as you think, typically only 11-18 pounds, but an 18 lb whooping crane is definitely a big one!

Males tend to be slightly larger and therefore weigh a bit more than females, but as with everything there's variation and a range.

When we catch cranes to band them or replace their transmitters we usually try to collect some biological samples and conduct a brief physical exam that includes a weight. LA females tend to weigh between 12 and 16 lbs while males range between 15 and 17.5 lbs with a few weighing over 18 lbs, including our largest male ever, who weighed 18.7 lbs!
