Once flourishing in grassy marshlands and bogs, the whooping crane almost disappeared as people's croplands
and cities altered its natural habitat.
Trang 4In the late 1940s, only one flock of fewer than 20 whooping cranes was left in the world No one knew where the whooper went to lay its eggs but after a long search, scientists found the whooping crane's nesting
grounds in Canada's remote Wood Buffalo Park in 1954 It was a crucial discovery, enabling biologists to begin a
comprehensive program to save the great white birds
Strenuous efforts are made by Canada and the United States to protect this magnificent bird The education
of the hunter along with its flyway is important The cranes are impressive in flight—great white birds with a seven-foot (2-meter) spread between their black wing tips There are other large white birds with black wing tips, however—the white pelican, wood ibis, and snow goose And the young birds, mottled with rusty brown, could be mistaken for the more common sand hill cranes The federal authorities, therefore, are urging hunters to adopt the slogan "Don't Shoot Any Large White Bird."
