Sandhill cranes relaxed in Japan

Sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis; Antigone canadensis) live in North America and Eastern Siberia. However, a few sandhill cranes stay in Izumi, Japan during winter due to straying. In 2019, 7 visitors came. Among them 4 were members of a family. They appeared to be quite relaxed. I wished their safe return to their home in the coming spring.

 

カナダヅルは迷鳥として渡来します。出水で出会ったカナダヅルのファミリーは環境がいいのか、とてもリラックスしていました。
