These graceful wading birds can stand up to five feet tall and migrate thousands of miles, often traveling in pairs or family groups at remarkable altitudes. Their silhouettes in flight—with extended necks and trailing legs—have made them iconic in art and folklore, particularly in Japanese and Chinese traditions where they represent eternal devotion and wisdom.
