The whooping cranes
are here, all right.
1:04:43
They're in fine shape...
1:04:44
and as you must have saw
from your flying machine...
1:04:47
unrestrained,
free to go as they please.
1:04:50
But this is private property
and you aren't setting a foot on it.
1:04:54
None of you.
1:04:56
We'll be back, and when we come back
we'll have a court order
1:04:58
and a fistful
of search warrants.
1:05:01
I'm scared of you.
1:05:03
Yee-hah!
1:05:13
It will be my extreme pleasure
to report to the President
1:05:16
who has been gravely concerned
about the fate of our whooping cranes...
1:05:19
...and the Interior Secretary
and the American people
1:05:22
that the entire flock of cranes
is, indeed, at Siwash Lake,
1:05:25
and in apparently
healthy condition.
1:05:28
The cranes have built
brooding nests
1:05:30
around the entire
circumference of the lake,
1:05:32
and have hatched
chicks there.
1:05:34
Uh, including the young birds, there are
approximately 60 cranes in the flock.
1:05:38
While this is good news,
it's also quite bewildering.
1:05:41
Er, whooping cranes
are territorially-minded
1:05:44
and have never been known to nest
within a mile of each other,
1:05:47
and yet here they're
virtually side by side.
1:05:52
The whooping crane has been driven
to the edge of extinction...
1:05:55
...by an aggressive, brutal,
patriarchal system
1:05:58
intent on subduing
the earth
