Episode 73: Whoop! There it is! (Whooping Crane)

Party people! Its time to learn about conservation! The Whooping crane very nearly went the way of the Pileated Woodpecker, Bachman's Warbler, and the Moa (all extinct birds covered before on this show!). While it is still very much endangered, it is a conservation success story. Learn all about the life history of the whooping crane, their evolutionary history (they were always very rare birds!) and how they came back from the brink of extinction. Dr. John explains it all, with lots of dumb jokes and bird puns included!..Outro music by the Sidewalk Slammers, check them out where ever you get your music.Bird sounds from Xeno-Canto.org.Whoop 1 by J Frank Goodwin.Whoop 2 by Sue Riffe
