Journey of the Whooping Crane

This is a one hour natural history documentary about the Whooping Crane, North America's tallest flying bird and one of its rarest. Down to just 14 birds in the wild in 1940, learn how unusual restoration efforts have brought their numbers back.

What inspiring work these wildlife biologists and rehabilitators do. A huge thank you to George Archibald and the International Crane Foundation for all the amazing efforts put into saving cranes. May they ever dance!

Such beauty that I never knew were indigenous to America, it's a shame that we have many majestic creatures but only revere the eagle.

Its a good thing that whooping cranes in USA and Buffalo National Park in Canada have been rehabilitated to some extent after the alarming merely 13-15 cranes with only three breeding pairs is encouraging

Successful cranes all share one common trait, that they are all gregarious species. So communication is really import. 😄😄😄. Whooping cranes are so beautiful and stately looking birds. Most similar with Siberian cranes I think, look-wise. Hope they will prosper.

Loss of habitat, government messes it all up, I have an 80 acre private reserve in northern Minnesota, sandhill cranes, trumpeter swans, and 50 other bird species, I love critters, miss my timber wolves.

I think you guys might want to double check the location of Wood Buffalo National Park, in your video the first map of it actually puts it in Northern Saskatchewan, while it is actually in Northern Alberta and extends in to the NWT. Later images are correct though ;)

У охотников нет души, как можно убивать белых журавлей? Нужно среди населения провести пропаганду о сохрнении белых журавлей будущим потомкам. Мы-якуты,жители Сибири никогда не убиваем: стерхов,журавлей,лебедей и цапли. Они для нас боги,убивать издревле стерхов-грех!

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the Anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Evangelism.
