When travelling through Jodhpur.......

Keechan is a nondescript village between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer- literally a middle of nowhere. However come September hordes of Demoiselle Cranes commence to descent on this hamlet. By January the number of cranes swell to 15,000!. Read this excellent article on the birds love for this tiny hamlet and the inhabitants of this village cohere to feed them.
