Whooping Crane (Grus ameriaana) - No known documented sightings of whooping 

 cranes occurred on this area. In view of current population levels and lack 

 of well developed riparian habitats, it is unlikely the area would be utilized 

 by cranes, even as a resting area during migration, except for rare "accidental" 

 occurrences. Whooping crane migration routes lie considerably to the east of 

 this area (Whooping Crane Recovery Team, 1979).
