A mystery story

This book has everything- a mystery, a valiant search, a happy ending. It is the story of the search for the nesting site of the whooping crane. It took 17 years to find the site, the discovery of which assures the world that this site will not be destroyed and insures that these birds may survive the impact of an ever growing human population. We owe so much to these brave men who worked so hard to find where these glorious birds nested. The book is well written and illustrated.
