This is a really rare sighting in the Horicon Marsh. I know the Whooping Crane is seen regularly in Necedah NWR, but I have only seen one twice in Horicon. I was told by a lady also watching this bird, that it is a female that frequents the marsh and that she is banded number 7. I have no way of knowing if that is true, but it was a good story. What was amazing is that this bird was right on hwy 49 and that a red winged black bird was harassing it. This caused the bird to open her wings as if annoyed. It made for a very rare opportunity and a shot I really like.
