| Grey Crowned Crane spotted at Jurong Bird Park |
The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. This animal does not migrate. It has a breeding display involving dancing, bowing, and jumping. It has a booming call which involves inflation of the red gular sac. It also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane species.

ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice shot of a beautiful bird Cher but the copyright watermark is really distracting. If you don't mind me asking, why did you put such an intrusive watermark across the middle of your beautiful photo?
ReplyDeletehaha, didn't realize the watermark was too big. thanks for the feedback,Larry. :)
