Sarus Cranes - Pair

Bharatpur, Rajasthan, 27 Feb 2006

Sarus Cranes form life-long pair bonds, and return to the same breeding grounds year after year. Mated pairs of Sarus Cranes engage in unison calling, which consists of a complex and extended series of calls where male and female vocalizations differ but are coordinated. I missed this spectacle as I was a month late in visiting the park
