This website has a running tally of the whooper population. The original flock had a bumper crop of chicks, bringing the total species population over 500:
Wood Buffalo NP (Alberta/NWT) / Aransas NWR (TX) flock: 237 Florida nonmigratory flock: 53 Wisconsin / Florida flock: 83 Total wild 373 birds In captivity 145 Grand total 518
Not bad for a species that was down to just 21 birds for a couple years in the 1950's.
You have the power to change America. Yes. We. Can.
