	Star Tales – Grus (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Grus represents a long-necked wading bird, the crane.
		The constellation was first shown on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598 under the name Krane Grus, respectively Dutch and Latin for crane, although on a later Plancius globe issued posthumously in 1625 it bore the alternative title of Phoenicopterus, the flamingo.
		Grus cranes its neck in the Uranographia of Johann Bode.

	The Whooping Crane
		The birds work very assiduously with their bills, and succeed in uncovering the large roots of the great water-lily, which often run to a depth of two or three feet.
		The trachea of this bird confirms my opinion that the Canada Crane and the Whooping Crane are merely the same species in different states of plumage, or in other words, at different ages; and, in truth, the differences are not greater than those exhibited by many other birds, both aquatic and terrestrial.
		As the bird advances in age, the yellowish-brown disappears, and the general colour of the plumage becomes pure bluish-grey, which ultimately changes to white.

	Sandhill Crane
		This is a long-legged, long-necked grey bird that is often stained rust.

	Audubon: Why Birds?
		Birds are one of the best, and in some cases the only, monitors of environmental change.
		Birds integrate and accumulate environmental stresses over time because they are usually high in the food chain and have relatively long life-spans.
		Bird populations and communities, and bird behavior and reproductive success often reflect closely the stability of an ecosystem.

	Blue crane - Grus paradisea: More Information - ARKive
		The elegant blue crane is the national bird of South Africa (6).
		It is a relatively small crane with a large head, thick neck and beautiful elongated wing feathers, known as tertials that trail behind this bird and are often mistaken for tail feathers (6).
		Measures taken to date include tighter legal protection for the species; research into the bird's ecology, biology and conservation status; surveys of the population; better habitat management on private land and the development of education programmes (7).

	MBTA Game Birds and Hunted Species
		The migratory bird conventions with Canada and Mexico define "game birds" as those species belonging to the following families: Anatidae (swans, geese, and ducks), Rallidae (rails, gallinules, and coots), Gruidae (cranes), Charadriidae (plovers and lapwings), Haematopodidae (oystercatchers), Recurvirostridae (stilts and avocets), Scolopacidae (sandpipers, phalaropes, and allies), and Columbidae (pigeons and doves).
		In actuality, the Fish and Wildlife Service has determined that hunting is appropriate only for those species for which there is a long tradition of hunting, and for which hunting is consistent with their population status and their long-term conservation.
		It is inconceivable, for example, that we will ever see legalized hunting of plovers, curlews, or the many other species of shorebirds whose populations were devastated by market gunners in the last decades of the 19th century.

	Best 50 birds 31-40
		The Andes of South America are well known for the diversity of birds and the prevalence of endemism, and nothing better illustrates this than the spectacular new barbet discovered in cloud forest on an unnamed peak near the upper Rio Cushabatay in Peru's eastern Andes.
		The eastern flock, which holds 95% of the world's 2500 birds, winters in China; the western birds migrate to India and were once the headline species wintering at Bharatpur in Rajasthan (where Bhoulu Khan took this photo).
		It was certainly the bird on which we spent the most time (3 days) during my first trip to South America (Colombia in 1975), and although some have quick success, it remains elusive at many sites (only 2 of a dozen of us saw it my first trip).
