Five Tangerine Cranes at Dawn
All along the lower coast, everybody knows that the sighting of a tangerine crane is a sign of good luck. Not very long ago, the population of these birds was uncountable. Today, forty-three are known to exist.

Cinq grues mandarines à l'aube
Tout le long de la basse cote, les gens savent que l'apparition de la grue mandarine est un signe de chance. Il n'y a pas très longtemps que la population de ces oiseaux etait innombrable. A présent, il n'enreste que quarante-trois.
