A health exam for whooping crane chicks, (Grus americana), at the International Crane Center. Shown are biologists and veterinarians wearing gray 'sandhill crane' costumes as they examine chicks, take measurements, and give shots. They all wear gray to mimic the colors of a 'bad guy' bird, the sandhill crane. White is worn only when they want to imitate whooper parents in positive situations only.
