Breeding Family Hunters Indonesia 
10,000 Birds

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts.

Considering the bird survived a season in an area saturated with hunters and birds of prey, this facemelting rarity deserves our respect. Secretive, silent and undetectable outside of its breeding season, found only in the U.S. I’m looking forward to putting it on my year list for the third year in a row.
