White-naped cranes live in marshy areas in China, Mongolia, Russia, Korea, and Japan. They are called white-naped cranes because they have white napes. The nape is the back of its neck. One of the things I like about this crane is the cool dark gray arrow on both sides of its neck that points up.
We took this picture a few weeks ago at the International Crane Foundation.
