A specific crane species (Grus monacha). The name is usually written in katakana, as is common for many bird names in Japanese.
Hooded cranes migrate to Japan in winter.

Kanji spelling exists but is rarely used; learners will mostly encounter the katakana form.
From 鍋, “cooking pot,” and 鶴, “crane,” referring to the bird’s dark gray plumage, likened to the sooty color of a traditional pot.
