Hokkaido Photo Tour - Mating Red-crowned Cranes

Mating Red-Crowned Cranes - Hokkaido, Japan

Mating Red-Crowned Cranes, I have not filmed them mating for several years. And I am often photographing and filming at one of the many riversides where they roost in the marshlands of Hokkaido. I filmed this video during my annual Hokkaido Photo tour in February 2020. There were about a dozen of us on the bridge this morning. I remember last year it was so crowded with tourists easily over a hundred and many without cameras, so covid-19 is effective in getting rid of none wildlife birders and camerapersons.
