What Are Whooping Cranes?

The Texas Coastal Bend is recognized as one of the premier bird watching areas in the world
with over 400 documented species. Many species of birds can be seen all along the shorelines of Aransas Bay. You can download the Aransas Pathways App to find local birding hot spots or get out on the water aboard the Skimmer located on Fulton Harbor right across the street from the Inn.

Our most famous species is the endangered Whooping Crane. Each November these majestic
birds arrive in and around the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge just north of Rockport-Fulton. The best way to see these magnificent birds is by boat but they can be seen at a distance by car on the nearby Lamar Peninsula

The Whooping Crane has a distinctive whooping call and communicates mainly by vocal cues. These calls are mainly warning against danger, finding members of the flock, or protecting the young whooping cranes.
