Thanks Gonz! We get over a 1/2 million Sandhill Cranes through here every spring. http://www.audubon.org/news/see-sandhill-crane-migration-march-2-april-7 http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/sandhill-crane However, there are less than 400 Whooping Cranes in the world, so they are like finding the proverbial needle. They are also waaaay more shy. http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/whooping-crane
I've been lucky enough to see at least one in 4 out of the past 7 years (getting photos 3 of them). This year was the best so far.
