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.
Common Crane
灰鹤（约5公斤）是欧洲和亚洲最具代表性的大型鸟类之一，具有灰色羽毛、红色冠和黑白色头部图案。繁殖于北欧至西伯利亚，迁徙至南欧和非洲北部越冬。在冬季田野中大群觅食。无危；因保护措施得力，种群数量稳步回升。
