. 1902 Aug 23, Sun. Whooping Cranes. The Tale of the Last Ones Killed in Nebraska
the last whooping crane in Nebraska was killed on October 23, 1902, by Harry Counsman & W.Y. Teetzel up on the tule flats west of Three Spring Lake, just west of Anse Newberry's old place, north of Cody.
Counsman & Teetzel were after duck & were lying in their blind in the rice & tules awaiting the evening light. A bunch of green wings had just flashed by, tipping the tops of the rice with their speckled bellies almost, when Counsman held up his hand as an admonitory signal to his companion & coming whence the 2 silent hunters could not determine, was a cry so wild & strange, yet rising as the blast of a silvery horn, that made them peer into each other's faces with much concern. Again it came, a long drawn, sonorous grrrrrrrroooo & thinking probably it might be as well to prosecute their investigation from a secret vantage point, the 2 duck hunters crouched low among the glass & then between the interstices, searched the heavens with eager eyes. The strange sound seem to come from somewhere above, but it was only after it was sounded again & again they scrutinized every league of the firmament in every direction, are they rewarded with the sight of the authors those wild notes.
Nor in the north, against the overarching blue, they caught sight of four wisps of down, like snatches of snow against the sky. Instinctively chew that it was from these that ringing ghostly grrrrrrrroooo emanated. Closer the four objects came, enlarging as they came, until the languid motion of their huge sails was visible & their cries growing nearer & more penetrating, the hunters were enabled to make out that they were some species of a rare bird & simultaneously they exclaimed, Swan! again come that far-reaching tremolo & the excited hunters saw the four huge bird set their wants in a line of bluish gray against the sky drift toward them. When they had settled to where the old sandhill Thunderbird, formed a background & those wild tones sounded clearer & more searching hey grasped their guns with tighter grip, though the birds were yet full a mile away.
No other bird has the pomp & ceremony about his movements when the 4 big white cranes, instead of coming down, swept round the lonely amphitheater in miles of spiral, Counsman & Teetzel gave up all hope of getting a short. But closer & closer each wind brought them in nearer the tule blind & it was evident that the birds were circling the lake only as a precautionary maneuver before alighting. They had certainly been trained in an efficient school They knew the danger hidden within rice clump & tules & were determined to take no undue risk. what their keep eyes failed to note, even from their lofty aerial pathway was underserving of suspicion, when it came time to drop their long, blackish, slate colored legs & settle in the shallow waters or some jutting point.
thoroughly hidden beneath the arching rushes the 2 hunters, while it seemed ages, had but a brief time to wait & the birds drew thrillingly near. Four monster birds, thee times as big as the biggest Canada goose, pouring a flood of the most are reaching sound that rolls from a living throat, were wheeling & sheering above the, with the sun's rays glancing from their dagger beaks & widely waving wings. both gunners hat their nerve to the last & at the first crack of one of those good old shells, one came whirling down almost upon Teetzel's head & as the flame spouted upward from Counsman's gun another left his 2 mates & fell into the rushes & the other pair screaming affrightedly, vanished fading over old Thunderbird's frowning brow.
