Shall we Dance? - a photo on Flickriver

Shall we Dance?

            Wings held high, feathers fluffed, beaks pointed, crane cackling… clearly there’s an interesting interaction going on here between the two Sandhill Cranes, probably a unison call by a mated pair.  My attraction to this shot included both the interaction between the cranes as well as the unusual symmetry in the positioning of multiple birds and their body positions.  The rusty brown color in some of the wing feathers is derived from rubbing iron rich mud onto them.
