Pre-European expansion, there were an estimated 10,000 Whooping Cranes across North America; by the 1940s they reached near extinction when only 20 remained in a single migrating population.

Whooping Crane
I was eating supper on July 25th at the Prairie Lane residence when a car drove up and Arlene Koziol came to the door. She was excited and said “Come quickly, I have a surprise to show you.” We went to the kiosk and there were two whooping cranes on the north side of Goose Pond. This is a first for my life list!
