Actually, most of the cranes seemed nonplussed about this haphazard-looking coyote. I imagine he was hoping that one of the birds would be ill and left behind after the others took off for the morning. Unfortunately for him, all of them took wing.

NIce juxtaposition - coyote explains the chaos of cranes in the foreground. Exposure looks good.

David:

Nicely composed image, the overlapping,angled wings give a sense of tension, or stress and the coyote in the background completes the story. Techs are nice too, but its the 'story telling' that makes the image.

This is a great habitat and behavior shot that captures two species. Golden tones are beautiful. TFS
