One of the best ways to view wildlife, especially Whooping Cranes, is from boats in the Intracoastal canal. From early November through early April,

boats from the Rockport-Fulton area cruise past tidal flats and salt marshes where many bird specie may be seen.

Experience the Whoopers' habitat. See our featured Whooping Crane & Birding tour guides below!
