Crane Racing

Photographer's Statement:

I took this photo when I was camping in the Idaho wilderness. I did not know what this thing was at the time, but now I know that it’s a Sandhill Crane. I had been driving with my dad when this Crane came up to us in our car and started to chase us. It was kinda like a Crane race!
