The International Crane Foundation works worldwide to conserve cranes and the ecosystems, watersheds, and flyways on which they depend.

Participants will learn tips, tricks, and pointers for identifying these birds by sight and sound and also help to distinguish them from birds that often look very similar to cranes. Other topics include the history of Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes, what contributed to their historic decline, and where they can be found today.
