Each fall the whooping cranes make a stop in Saskatchewan. I finally made the trip to see them. I was lucky to see about 85 of them: that is about 15% of the population.

I took a trip to Saskatchewan to see migrating cranes. About 600 are left in the migrating flock that breeds in Northern Albert and winters in Texas. Florida has a small resident flock. It is the second rarest bird in North America after the California Condors.

According to wikipedia, this is the rarest gull in the world. It is only found in Galapagos. It is wide-spread across the islands so relativley easy to find.
Wandering Tattler
Wandering Tattler
This is one bird I was really hoping to see. While this is not a resident bird, it is regularly seen in the Galapagos. It breeds in mountainous areas of Alaska, Yukon and far-east Russia. Then disperses widely across the Pacific shores, usually alone. It was the first shorebird we saw in the Galapagos and then we only saw it one other time.
