The most typical family members occupy dense vegetation in damp environments near lakes, swamps, or rivers. In general they are shy and secretive birds, making them difficult to observe. Most species have strong legs and long toes which are well adapted to soft uneven surfaces. They tend to have short rounded wings and to be weak fliers. Eleven species have been recorded in New York. </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Clapper_rail" title="Clapper rail">Clapper rail</a>, <i>Rallus crepitans</i> (U)(B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/King_rail" title="King rail">King rail</a>, <i>Rallus elegans</i> (N)(B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Virginia_rail" title="Virginia rail">Virginia rail</a>, <i>Rallus limicola</i> (B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Corn_crake" title="Corn crake">Corn crake</a>, <i>Crex crex</i> (N)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sora_(bird)" title="Sora (bird)">Sora</a>, <i>Porzana carolina</i> (B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Common_gallinule" title="Common gallinule">Common gallinule</a>, <i>Gallinula galeata</i> (B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/American_coot" title="American coot">American coot</a>, <i>Fulica americana</i> (B)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/American_purple_gallinule" title="American purple gallinule">Purple gallinule</a>, <i>Porphyrio martinicus</i> (N)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Azure_gallinule" title="Azure gallinule">Azure gallinule</a>, <i>Porphyrio flavirostris</i> (N)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Yellow_rail" title="Yellow rail">Yellow rail</a>, <i>Coturnicops noveboracensis</i> (N)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Black_rail" title="Black rail">Black rail</a>, <i>Laterallus jamaicensis</i> (N)(B)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cranes">Cranes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_birds_of_New_York_(state)&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Cranes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg/220px-Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg/330px-Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg/440px-Two_sandhill_cranes_over_Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="797" /></a><figcaption>Two sandhill cranes flying over <a href="/wiki/Montezuma_National_Wildlife_Refuge" title="Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge">Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Order: <a href="/wiki/Gruiformes" title="Gruiformes">Gruiformes</a><span class="nowrap">   </span>Family: <a href="/wiki/Gruidae" class="mw-redirect" title="Gruidae">Gruidae</a> </p><p>Cranes are large, long-legged, and long-necked birds.
