About These Birds
Demoiselle Crane
The demoiselle crane is the smallest crane species but undertakes one of the most grueling migrations, crossing the Himalayas at altitudes over 8,000 meters to reach wintering grounds in India. Named for its elegant appearance by Marie Antoinette, it is the second most abundant crane species in the world.
White-naped Crane
La grulla de cuello blanco es una grulla grande que anida en Mongolia, el noreste de China y el extremo oriente de Rusia, migrando en invierno al sur de China, la península de Corea y Japón. Distinguible por el cuello blanco contrastante con las alas y el cuerpo grises y la cara y coronilla rojas desnudas. Anida en marismas y prados abiertos. Clasificada como vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat en los humedales de invernada.
