Almost Extinct: Whooping Crane

I finally had the chance to move Whooping Crane (Grus americana) from my bucket list to my bird life list!
It is a stunning and majestic bird, and all the more special to see because of its Endangered status on the IUCN Red List. In 1941, there were just 21 of these birds left on the planet. Now, thanks to some pretty high-profile conservation efforts, the numbers are up to several hundred in the wild and over 100 in captive breeding programs.
