It's about the birds. Huge, beautiful and endangered birds. Birds of ancient memory. Whooping Cranes.
And it's about the people. Extraordinarily talented people. Skilled and self-sacrificing caretakers, pilots, photographers, support personnel, teachers, writers. And thousands of backers who love the birds and want to see them once again in their hundreds.
