The Black-necked Crane is a rare winter bird with 1-2 individuals mixed among flocks of other cranes during wintering. After 1-2 individuals were observed near Daesungdong in Gyeonggi Province and in the Cheolwon Plain in Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province between 1976-1980, small numbers have regularly arrived at Cheolwon Plain and Suncheon Bay. It is primarily distributed in Europe, Siberia, Turkistan, Mongolia, northwestern Heilongjiang in northeastern China, Turkey, Iran, Korea, and Japan. Body length is approximately 113cm, with the entire body mostly grayish. The head and neck are black with white lines on both sides of the neck from the eyes, and a relatively short bill. During ground display behavior, it utters high-pitched trumpet-like calls and also calls while in flight. It constructs large nests by piling large quantities of reeds and similar grasses on the ground in wetlands, lakes, and swamps.
