Wintering whooping crane locations near the Texas coast

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-12-12T00:00:00Z
The Aransas-Wood Buffalo population of whooping cranes migrates through the U.S. Great Plains twice annually, moving between wintering areas along coastal Texas and summering areas in and around Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada. These data support development of resource utilization functions that were used to predict wintering use of whooping cranes outside of their historic coastal wintering areas.
