"WCEP asks anyone who encounters a whooping crane in
the wild to please give them the respect and distance they need. Do
not approach birds on foot within 200 yards; try to remain in your
vehicle; and do not approach in a vehicle within 100 yards. Also,
please remain concealed and do not speak loudly enough that the
birds can hear you. Finally, do not trespass on private property in
an attempt to view whooping cranes."
