This pair of Crowned Cranes is involved in a mating display, something I have never seen before I have loads of reasonable shots including "kissing".

Superb detail and wonderful action, Ken. The clarity of the eyes in the larger version is just amazing. I do find myself wishing there were a little less room on the left and a little more on the top for some reason.

Hi Ken

I think you have a corner on the really cool birds. You did a really good job the exposure.
