In my lifetime Whooping Cranes were the most endangered species of bird in North America. At one point only 21 whoopers were alive in the wild. Through constant vigilance and a variety of projects Whooping Crane numbers are now around 450 - much better, but still a small enough number that each crane is important. Thus begins the tale of “Bryce,” crane number 70-16 (from leg and neck band numbers), a juvenile bird born an reared at an International Crane Foundation facility near Baraboo, Wisconsin last spring.
