Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 96x8x148; Driven from their natural habitat by the settlement and urbanization of North America, ravaged by hunters, the proud, solitary and beautiful whooping cranes have long been on the verge of extinction. By the mid 1940's, only 27 wild whooping cranes were observed on the birds' winter grounds in the Aransas Wildlife Refuge along the coast of Texas. And in the spring of 1945, these 27 birds-the only wild whooping cranes left in the entire world-flew off as always on the long, hazardous journey to their summer nesting grounds somewhere in the far north of Canada. Where were these nesting grounds? No one knew. This detective story and natural history combination invites leisure readers to absorb the story of the plight of the whooping cranes and the special efforts undertaken to preserve them. Combining natural history with the efforts of conservationists, this surveys the whooping crane's special attributes and struggles for survival.
