The grey crowned crane is a bird found in eastern and southern Africa, and is the national bird of Uganda. Unlike other cranes, crowned cranes usually roost in trees. They can flock in large numbers, anywhere between 30 and 150. Pairs are monogamous and mate for life. When courting a partner, they perform what is referred to as a “nuptial dance.” This involves a range of bobs, bows, jumps and calls made by inflating the gular sack. Either gender can initiate this. I captured this photograph during a trip to the Bronx Zoo in New York in October 2018 as they were actively jumping and displaying their beautiful plumage in the dappled sunlight.
