“…Our findings that Whooping Cranes spent 86% of daylight hours in the Platte River during this stopover are similar to those of Jorgensen and Dinan (2016), which indicated Whooping Cranes spent the vast majority of diurnal hours in palustrine wetlands (76%–85%) as opposed to nearby agricultural fields in east-central Nebraska during a couple 2015 stopovers. Important aspects of stopover habitat use, including security, quality, and forage availability, often influence behavioral patterns during migration ((Jorgensen and Dinan 2016; Baasch et al 2019; Caven et al 2021, 2022a). Presumably, secure habitats associated with an abundant food supply will result in an increase in foraging behavior and a decrease in defensive behaviors such as predator avoidance.…”

“…1902), 'washing' (in the sense of cleansing), or making it easier to swallow (Hartert & Young 1928). Young cranes learn new food types and feeding behaviours from the adults while still dependent (Horwich 1996), including for vertebrate prey, for example Whooping Cranes teach young to forage on vertebrates by half-killing them and laying them beside the young to process and eat (Caven et al 2021). Cranes also learn from watching others forage in the social (flocking) season or by individual learning through trial and error.…”
