White Naped Cranes are native to northern Mongolia, southern Siberia, Korea, Japan, and central China. They are distinguishable from other cranes because they are the only species with pinkish legs and a dark gray and white striped neck, hence their name. White-naped cranes have a special dance! Mated pairs of cranes engage in unison calling, which is a complex and extended series of coordinated calls. The birds stand in a specific posture, usually with their heads thrown back and breaks skyward, during the display. In Korea, white-naped cranes are a popular New Year’s symbol. They are also featured widely throughout Korean art and folklore. White-naped cranes are capable of flying at speeds between 25 and 35 miles per hour. This one was content to scratch an itch in the afternoon sun.
