This is the beautiful "West African Crowned Crane." This photo was taken at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore last weekend when we had the nice 58 degree weather (02-22-2014).
West African crowned cranes roost in trees, which is unusual for cranes. They are monogamous birds that gather in large flocks during the non-breeding season, and roost in open trees overnight.
Adult cranes reinforce their pair bond by dancing for and with each other. Wow - I did not know that when I took this photo and named it. To continue, the west african cranes perform ritualistic dance displays that include bows, leaps, runs, wing flapping, short flights, jerky bouncing, running, and stick tossing. Cranes of all ages dance. Among younger birds, dancing may serve to reduce aggression with other cranes, provide physical exercise, and possibly relieve anxiety. These cranes are quite fascinating and so much fun to watch and photograph. Emmy Vickers,

Robert Bales
Great color and title Emmy!! I first thought it was intimating a woodpecker. v/f/t
Emmy Vickers replied:
Thanks Robert for the compliment, vote, favor, and tweet. As I learned more about their mannerisms, this could be either him dancing or bowing. They are pretty fascinating birds. I see how this can look like he is imitating a woodpecker. Too funny. Thanks for your time and support.
