I Found A Bird that Nearly Went EXTINCT

The Whooping Crane is an incredible bird that almost went extinct. Thankfully, they have bounced back and can still be found in select areas of the United States. I went to one of these areas in hopes of finding these rare birds. This was filmed in late summer/early fall.
