Dancing Cranes

Driving from one customer to another yesterday I passed fields of corn rows loaded with cranes.  There were literally thousands of them.  Most were well away from the road. This particular group was maybe 50 yards from the edge of the road and didn't fly away when I stopped to photograph their mating dances.  Maybe the dance had them occupied enough that they didn't mind me being so close.  I was under a time restraint so didn't stay as long as I wanted but then it was entertaining for those 20 minutes I did sit and watch them dance!
