Congratulation on your super potd WINNER from Japan, Hokaido, kathy. The front one is male and behind female species. So you were there and I alway dream of going there but did not make it. This time in Mid June I am going to Harbin to take the similiar bird. Hokaido and Harbin wild crane bird were human taken care in the way. I wanted to go winter time in harbin but too cold that I postphoned it to now. I hope to get some nice decent photo but will not be like one so cool!. graeme #11040638
