Siberian Crane Spring Migration Begins in Eastern China Recent reports of Siberian Cranes in Liaoning Province indicate that the 2008 spring migration has started along the eastern flyway. Since March 27 more than 1,000 Siberian Cranes have been observed at Huanzidong, a reservoir in central Liaoning Province near the capital, Shenyang. On March 31, a banded Siberian Crane was observed in a flock of over 800 cranes in this area. The bird was banded as a chick in Yakutia, Russia in August 2005. The Siberian Cranes will migrate over 3,000 miles from their wintering grounds in the Poyang Lake Basin to their breeding and summering grounds in northeastern Russia. 
Over 1,000 Siberian Cranes were sighted recently in central Liaoning Province. The remaining wetlands in Liaoning and neighboring provinces are critical stop-over areas for the cranes during their 3,000 mile migration. Photos by Zhou Haixiang
