Predation on reptiles and amphibians by whooping cranes (Grus americanus) is widely reported, but all published data are anecdotal or based on singular observations, and mostly refer to isolated predation events. Some observers consider reptiles and amphibians to only be occasional prey items of whooping cranes. I report observations that show reptiles and amphibians to be an important food source for reintroduced whooping cranes in Louisiana, particularly in spring months, in that they might become a significant source of high-value food during the cranes’ nesting season.
