Abstract
The white crane is a common migrating bird of the Aldan Plateau, with 100 to 200 individuals being visually recorded each season (up to 5% of population). The active passage is observed from May 14-15 to May 25-28, especially in the first days. The main part of the cranes migrating in spring takes north-north-east direction.
