The Whooping Crane population has grown slowly because they nest only once every year and hatch only one egg. Migration is a dangerous venture and cranes get hurt or killed during the trip. Some dangers to the cranes are power lines and fences, hungry predators, disease, and hunters. Since they hatch so few a year, any death makes it hard to increase their numbers quickly and yhey are therefore still endangered.
