@Inktober Day 17: Graceful Grulla Coronada Cuelligrís/ Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) is a gruiforme bird of the family Gruidae. It habitually inhabits the African savannah in the south of the Sahara, although it usually nestles in more humid habitats. It is characterized by its large white winged spots on the gray plumage, which are visible during flight and exhibition. It inhabits marshes, where it feeds on large insects, frogs and toads, cereals and other vegetables. It flies heavily, with its neck and legs somewhat fallen, and rests in the trees. The couples are exhibited with a dance in heels and their strong claim to two notes. #inktober #inktober2017 #inktobermcbo #myartistsnetwork #artistsnetwork #graceful #bird #aves #grulla #grullacoronada #gruidae #Ornithology #betosui @artistsnetwork @inktober @jakeparker
