Whooping Crane VIDEO

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf view map

This video chronicles our observations of six wild endangered Whooping Cranes (Grus Americana).
The birds have rebounded from a low of about 15 in the 1940's to about 400 today, about half of which are in captivity.
This video is dedicated to the nature conservationists and wildlife experts who have greatly helped to avoid extinction of this magnificent bird.
