"Maybe the government can help" maybe it can nps.gov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whooping_Crane en.wikipedia.org - "As the story unfolds, it becomes impossible to overlook the cold truth that when it comes to managing 2.2 million acres of wilderness, nobody since the Indians has had the faintest idea how to do it." The Indians were lucky enuf to live in live in a time when there were 300 million fewer European Americans with their internal combustion engines and assault rifles living here than we have today. The Passenger Pigeon or Wild Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct North American bird. The species lived in enormous migratory flocks until the early 20th century, when hunting and habitat destruction led to its demise. [2] One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and 300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds. That number, if accurate, would likely represent a large fraction of the entire population at the time. [3] [A] [4] en.wikipedia.org
