Crane Fighting

I have seen Japanese crane trying to intimidate each other by crying out loud, but I saw two cranes fighting fiercely today at Kushiro Marsh.

There were three cranes altogether along the small river and two of them were pecking each other with thier huge wings wide spread.

One crane had even big red blood stain on the white wing coat.

During the battle, there stood another crane, probably the only female, watching the whole event taking place.

It could have been the battle between the crane boys trying to take the crane lady.
