Cranes in North America

ICF exhibits Antigone canadensis florida. I believe they keep at least one other Sandhill Crane subspecies bts.
 
Are you certain about Riverbanks having demoiselle cranes? I visit the zoo fairly regularly and I've certainly never noticed them, nor do I know where they'd even be. Certainly not outside the Birdhouse, but I also don't think they're inside it?

They did in 2018 at least per this photo, from the same year as the original post in this thread. Whether they still have them I do not know.

For some reason, this discourse piqued my interest and led me to do a little digging. The latest records I can find of demoiselles at Riverbanks would be correctly of 2018 in the image that Argus linked, as well as @geomorph's May 2019 species list. I was under the assumption that dreamer here may have just somehow had bad luck finding the cranes at Riverbanks, but I came across this Facebook comment from October 2019 that questioned a possible disappearance (a certain absence, at least) of the demoiselle cranes on the zoo's page. Given that, I think it would be fair to possibly remove Riverbanks from the list of demoiselle crane holders :).
 
That seems to track - that photo is from the area to the right of the Birdhouse, where the swan geese are now kept. The fact that there were cranes there in at least 2018 and 2019 comes as a surprise, though, because I certainly never noticed them. I recall there being a large number of koi (and nothing else) in the pond inside that exhibit in 2015 or so, when I first started semi-regularly visiting. Every visit since then, I've glanced over but never saw anything there, bird, fish, or otherwise. Guess it really has been bad luck on my part, since I also never got to see the swan geese until my visit a few weeks ago.

But that's just how it goes. I've still only caught the faintest glimpse of Riverbanks's binturong even though I've probably been 8 or so times now since they put it on exhibit.
 
As of early November 2022, here's my list of cranes in Ohio zoos.

African Safari Wildlife Park, Port Clinton- black-crowned
Akron Zoo, Akron- white-naped
Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden- gray-crowned
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Cleveland- red-crowned
Cleveland Museum of Natural History Perkins Wildlife Center, Cleveland- sandhill
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Powell- black-crowned and gray-crowned
Toledo Zoo, Toledo- demoiselle

I know Columbus had sandhill and Cleveland Metroparks had gray-crowned in the past few years...

Also Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Not sure if you want to count Natural Encounters, Inc. (a major AZA-certified facility that loans birds for show use), but if so they have a grey-crowned crane temporarily at Roger Williams Park Zoo.

DAK should only keep Sarus Cranes in its Asian area, not white-naped crane.
