Date: 4/9/24 6:16 am From: Evan Cutler <evancutler...> Subject: [JERSEYBI] Montclair Bird Club Program this Wednesday: The Life of the Whooping Crane
This Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm, join the Montclair Bird Club for a live
zoom program entitled "The Life of the Whooping Crane." With snowy white
plumage and a striking red crown, and standing an impressive
five-feet-tall, this is the rarest of the world’s 15 crane species. One of
the first birds to be listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1972, the
population of the Whooping Crane has grown from a low of 21 individuals in
the 1940s to now more than 800 birds. Paityn Bower, an outreach biologist
for the International Crane Foundation’s Texas Program, will provide a
fascinating glimpse into this crane’s life history. The program is free and
open to the public. Please send an email to <montclairbirdclub100...>
for a Zoom invite. Hope to see you there! For more info, visit our website
