hmmmm I was checking National Geographic and based on the color and sound I think these are actually Sandhill Cranes..... not Whooping Cranes......

these make a rolling trill that is very loud! kinda sounded whooping to me
.
and they have blueish gray feathers

seems the whoopers have white bods and have a more shrill cry rather than these

here is nat geo page on the ones I saw (tho mine definitely have bluer feathers, but the sound was similar tho a longer trill)
