About These Birds
Black Crowned Crane
Black Crowned Crane (Balearica pavonina) is a tall 100–105 cm crane of the Sahel and West Africa. Grey body with black neck and head, red and white facial wattles, and golden crown. Inhabits wet grasslands, flooded savannas, and lake margins from Senegal east to Ethiopia and Sudan.
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.
