Cranes are found in most of the world.

They’re a pretty varied category of bird though. Four genera and 15 different species.

The Japanese crane is like the bird of Japan though. Famous in Japanese art for hundreds of years.

    The red crowned cranes are mostly gone from Japan though, with only one population left in Hokkaido.

    There are a shit ton of herons and egrets though. In season you see those in the rice fields pretty much every day.
