The taxonomy hero is Grus japonensis -- Kushiro, the Korean DMZ and Izumi. Other Grus species appear as comparison, not as the page type. How close did whooping cranes come to zero? The Aransas-Wood Buffalo flock was about 21 birds in 1941. That nadir still defines US recovery graphs.

What did George Archibald do at ICF? A large share of the migratory island population winters on one Kyushu floodplain. Influenza years there are species-level events. Do cranes mate with a lifelong dance? Pairs are typically socially monogamous. The dance is pair-bond and territorial display, not a fairy-tale wedding.

Wintering red-crowned and white-naped cranes use the Civilian Control Zone. Peace-time development is a documented risk to that accidental reserve. Chicks imprint on humans and then fail to migrate or pair. Operation Migration ultralights (2001-2015) tried to teach a new flyway. Is the Hokkaido tancho a separate species?

The order on the card is year, line, figure. Crane is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo.1973
