Egret wading in the shallow waters early Friday morning. The crane does an interesting "dance" when trying to catch marine life with its legs. Photo taken March 13, 2009.

I've watched them dancing as you call it. They stir up the mud and rocks on the bottom to try to exposure possible food. They are beautiful birds to watch.
Great shot by the way.
