5 Chapter 5 : Book of the Week: A Look at the Endangered Species List â Biodiversity Heritage Library Selected vertebrate endangered species of the seacoast of the United States Selected vertebrate endangered species of the seacoast of the United States. The Whooping Crane generally probes in the mud or sand in or near shallow water, but may also take prey from the water column, or pick items from the substrate Ehrlich et al. During summer the Whooping Crane feeds on insects, crustaceans, and berries. Ecology No specific information regarding Whooping Crane ecology is available for Montana. During the breeding season, territories are very large, averaging hectares Johnsgard Home ranges of breeding pairs in Canada were about 3 to 19 square kilometers Kuyt A year periodicity has been observed in Whooping Crane populations Boyce and Miller, Dennis et al. Reproductive Characteristics The Whooping Crane is not known to breed in the state. No observations of nesting exist for Montana Johnsgard Information from other regions where Whooping Cranes do breed states the average age of first nesting is 4 years, although pair bonding may begin with 2 to 3 year old birds Lewis The Whooping Crane breeds monogamously with the same mate throughout life. Breeding behavior of the Whooping Crane, which includes an elaborate mating dance, begins in late winter and increases with the coming of the spring migration. The species has strong fidelity to breeding territory, returning to nest generally in the same area Lewis Breeding, which begins in early May, results in the laying of usually 2, sometimes 1, rarely 3, eggs Baicich and Harrison The eggs are subelliptical, cream colored to greenish-olive with spots, blotches, or fine speckles of light brown, light purple, or reddish-brown Baicich and Harrison Both sexes take turns incubating the eggs for 33 to 34 days. Both adults tend the precocial young, which fledge when no less than 10 weeks old no earlier than mid-august. The young remain with parents until the following year dissociating with adults after arrival on breeding grounds. This species is sexually mature at 4 to 6 years. The original wild flock of Whooping Cranes, that which nests in Wood Buffalo and winters in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, is the only naturally occurring wild population in the world. Seventeen subsequent nesting attempts were recorded, with the first chick fledging in June This bird was the first fledged of a second generation of non-migratory Whooping Cranes in Florida, and the first bird to be produced by captive reared, wild released, parents. Management No management activities in Montana specific to Whopping Crane are currently known.
