Flight & Formation – Whooping Cranes at Rockport Wildlife Refuge

Flight & Formation – Whooping Cranes at Rockport Wildlife Refuge

A quiet congregation with wings ready for the wind.
Flight & Formation is a fine art photographic piece by Antoinette Washington, featuring a rare view of whooping cranes in their protected wintering grounds at a Texas wildlife refuge in Rockport.

Each bird was photographed on-site in its natural behavior — some standing tall, others grooming, some clustered in family-like stillness. Two additional cranes were layered into the sky to reflect the broader migratory story these endangered birds embody. The result is a grounded moment that speaks to movement, protection, and grace.

From the delicacy of feathers to the symmetry of the flyaway pair, this artwork carries quiet symbolism and reverence for one of North America's most iconic — and vulnerable — bird species.
