Resharing for #WhoopingCraneDay

Whoop for #WhoopingCraneDay & celebrate one of North America's rarest birds and one of its conservation success stories.
Thanks to the work of many dedicated people these birds were brought back from the brink of extinction; once less than 20 individuals remained, now there are over 800!

Today is #worldotteray but also #whoopingcraneday
