Why do whooping cranes migrate?

Whooping cranes migrate to find suitable habitats and food sources. This is because the availability of food and suitable nesting sites changes throughout the year.

During the breeding season, whooping cranes migrate to the wetlands of Canada, where they build nests in shallow water. They feed on fish, frogs, and insects found in the wetlands.

In the fall, when the weather becomes colder and food becomes scarce, whooping cranes migrate south to the warmer climate of the Gulf Coast. They spend the winter in the coastal marshes and bays of Texas and Louisiana, where they feed on crabs, fish, and other aquatic creatures.

The migration of whooping cranes is a remarkable journey that covers thousands of miles. It is a testament to their resilience and ability to adapt to changing conditions.
