In to Rockport Tex about noon. Learned the boat “The Wooping Crane [sic]” left the Sea Gun dock at 1:30 so got right up there. Boat full of birders & a check list for the area in the cabin. A 4 hr. trip and saw 16 Whooping Cranes on the Aranansas Wildlife Refuge along the Intracoastal Waterway. Sunny – but cold. Many many other birds – Gulls interesting.
