The Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis) used to be regarded as vagrant in China. During a waterbirds monitoring survey, one Sandhill Crane was detected at Huanzidong Reservoir Wetland, Faku County, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province on March 29th, 2013. Up to now, this species has been recorded in most of the provinces on the crane migration route of eastern China including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Shanghai. Based on the reguler observations of wintering records in recent years, we suggest the Sandhill Crane is a rare winter visitor rather than vagrant in China.
