Siberian Crane MigrationJoin us this spring as we track the northern migration of two banded Siberian Cranes along the species' flyways in Asia. We are continuing to track Bai He (formerly No. 59947), who was banded as a chick in northeastern Russia in August 2008 (below). Last fall we followed Bai He as he completed his first migration south to China (over 3,000 miles!) along the species' eastern flyway. Unfortunately, we are no longer receiving location data from the second Siberian Crane (No. 59948) that we tracked in the fall. See the map below to view the fall 2008 migration route of these two banded cranes.
Bai He (left) was photographed during his first spring migration in late March 2009 in Liaoning Province, China. Researchers have monitored the young crane since he was banded in Yakutia, Russia in August 2008. Photo by Zhu Ying This spring we are excited to introduce a new Siberian Crane, Neya, who was released in December 2008 on the species' wintering grounds in northern Iran (learn more about the release). In late February Neya moved approximately 240 km northwest from her wintering site at Ferydoon Kenar. Unfortunately, we have not received any new location data from her transmitter since March 1, 2009.
