Sarus crane


This crane calls Disney's Animal Kingdom home. They have a lot of birds and other animals on display. It was quite interesting to see all the birds, as I doubt there's much chance I'd ever see them in the wild.

This photo was taken in Orlando, FL in August 2010. To see more birds from around the world, please check out Bird Freak.

  3. JM: I saw him in the "fake" India section of Disney's Animal Kingdom. I have to admit, the animal displays were pretty neat.

  4. I just came over from reading about chickens on a friend's blog - and what 'commercial' hens go through. It is so wonderful to see this beautiful bird healthy and roaming free. What a difference.

  8. Beautiful shot of the Sarus Crane Halcyon! I am a craniac myself and this bird is gorgeous.

    I see they are listed on the IUCN threatened list as vulnerable. I hope we can keep them from extinction!
