East African Crowned Crane

January 3rd, 2009 | Animals

I mentioned in an earlier post just how difficult that shooting at a zoo can be, but this may be the best picture I have ever taken at a zoo. I think that this is a regal bird in both it’s colors and its “hair-do”. Crowned cranes are the only cranes that roost in trees. All of their chicks hatch at the same time as well, which is uncommon among cranes.
