Was elk hunting in BC and in a meadow in the mountains I saw a pair, absolutely incredible, beautiful and HUGE! To be honest I did not know what there were and had to look it up when I got home.
With only approximately 440 in the wild today, I consider myself very fortunate to have seen them. Can't believe someone would shoot them, no mistaking them unless you are a moron.
GOOGLE:
In 1941 there were only 21 Whooping Cranes left: 15 were migrants between Canada and Texas while the rest lived year-round in Louisiana. The Louisiana population went extinct, and all 600 of today’s Whooping Cranes (about 440 in the wild and 160 in captivity) are descended from the small flock that breeds in Texas.
