I feel myself to But I have heard that we are rare, and it is the truth as I have discovered. There are not many of us.

I chose my nesting place far up North in the summer where it was very, very cold. It was so nice and refreshing there. In the winter I went far down South. Yes, I did much as the smaller birds do, except that there were not many of them In the summer up in the Arctic regions where I went But I liked to have a real nest In the summer away from the noise and confusion of ether birds." Do you know, that was Just the way I used to do, said the second Whooping Crane. Just the way I did, too," said the third Whooping Crane.
