 These cranes were so funny snapping their beaks and putting their heads in the air. I think they were actually angry with each other but it looks like they are a singing group with 3 singers and 3 dancing girls!

Wonderful shot Sammie. I got some distant shots last month, but not as nice. Van

Great shot. We have a lot of these here, but I haven't gotten to see them dance. I do have a video of three doing a toned-down version of this, with lots of calling. Fascinating birds.

I don't think they were angry. It's part of their culture. Here's a pretty good link. //www.wildlifeprairiestatepark.org/animalpages/sandhill_crane.htm

What a great capture! Looks like a mating ritual of some sort, but I would think that would be done in the spring.
