    Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Fact Sheet on Whooping Crane identification. Whooping Crane are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and cannot be pursued, harassed, captured or killed. Hunters are cautioned to positively identify their targets as game birds before shooting. LDWF asks hunters to report sightings of whooping crane to assist them in tracking the protected birds. Location information can be reported to the White Lake WCA office at 337-536-9400, ext. 4 or szimorski@wlf.la.gov. LDWF also asks experienced hunters to take the time in the field to educate young hunters and improve their target identification skills to distinguish game birds from non-game birds. A whooping crane sighting can add to the outdoor experience for outdoorsmen and women of all ages and hunter vigilance can assist the department’s efforts to restore this unique species in southwestern Louisiana. Anyone witnessing whooping cranes being pursued, harassed, captured or killed is urged to call the LDWF Enforcement Division’s Game Thief hotline at 1-800-442-2511 to report what they’ve seen.
