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

白枕鹤体型较大，翼展约200厘米。颈侧和枕部具宽阔的白色羽毛，面部裸露呈鲜红色，体羽蓝灰色。繁殖于中国东北和俄罗斯远东的湿地，在朝鲜半岛和中国南方越冬。因栖息地减少被列为易危物种，繁殖期具明显的领域性。
