Territorial display
One often sees Sandhill Cranes jumping and bobbing and fluffing their feathers and generally making a ruckus settling territorial disputes. They can be quite entertaining. The International Crane Foundation offers a nicely illustrated field guide to crane behavior {link} (pdf) that describes the meaning of these displays.

The Value of Time
Time is the most valuable and finite commodity that any living thing has. Think about it, everything – you, me, people, plants, animals, even the Earth itself – has a limited and set amount of time. From the moment we come into existence, we begin an inevitable march to a final end. Even the age of our solar system exists in but a minute of time within the context of the history of the universe. The average human lifespan does not even register on that clock. With that said, in many ways, time is the very definition of life itself.
