tranquility in the air often morphed into aggression and pandemonium on the ground.\u00a0 At first glance it may look like these birds are just taking off but they’re not.\u00a0 The crane on the left is attacking the second\u00a0bird who is attempting to escape.\u00a0 I thought the poses of each bird exemplified what was going on with each one.\u00a0 I got quite a few shots of the chase and neither bird ever left the ground more than a few inches\u00a0but I thought this one was the best of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p>Ron<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past
