About Crane
A crane (Grus grus) is a tall wading bird. It looks like a stork or heron but has shorter claws. Its feathers have a silvery shine. The tail feathers are wavy.
The Hebrew word in Isaiah 38:14 and Jeremiah 8:7 may refer to the crane, but this is uncertain.
Key References

Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
