Just an FYI for those who do not know about this bird. Back in the mid-fifties, they were an endangered species. They have made a made a marvelous comeback through great conservation efforts by many environmental groups. They were taken off the endangered lists years ago. My dad produced and shot a nature film of this then rare bird starting in the Everglades. The film was seen around the country in HS biology classes.
Great info, Stoshik, and many people are not aware how close to extinction some of these creatures came to be!
