Hooded Crane

Grus monacha

Notes:

In Kagoshima, every year about 10,000 spend the winter. Cranes as far as the eye can see... Only stumbled upon these guys after hitching a lift with some kids going to high school. They sure took us for an adventure!

Please consider adding this spotting to the Cranes mission. It is currently a local mission, but I have requested to have it moved to global. Thanks!
