Note to James, must mimic this bird to attract a bird. If I have to stand on one leg, I'm a goner, hehe. Nice Haiku Wilma....:)

Haven't seen the blue cranes mating, Wilma, but did see ducks flapping about with "emotions spurred." Sure hope you entered this creative haiku in Carol's contest. Wishing you a big win! Love, Carolyn
