Gray-Crowned Crane ~ Balearica regulorum
Found in Africa, this bird was placed on the IUCN's endangered list in 2012. One of the most notable characteristics of this species is the stiff, golden crown of feathers. Like all cranes, the Grey-Crowned Crane's breeding display involves dancing, bowing, jumping, as well as a "booming" call made by inflating the red gular sac on the throat. The main threats to this species are due to those imposed by humans on it's habitat. We took this photo at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo this past summer, 2017. It was a very hot day and the crane was constantly preening. A very magical bird to see in-person!
