About These Birds
Siberian Crane
Siberian Crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) is a large 140–145 cm, all-white crane with red facial skin and pink bill and legs; black wingtips visible in flight. Wingspan to 230 cm. Critically Endangered; world population only ~4,000 birds. Breeds in Arctic Siberia; winters primarily at Poyang Lake, China.
Red-crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is one of the rarest crane species and a potent symbol of longevity and fidelity in East Asian culture. Their elaborate unison call and dancing displays have inspired art and folklore for millennia. The resident population on Hokkaido, Japan, recovered from about 33 birds in 1952 to over 1,800 today.
