In my previous posting about a trip to Malheur NWR I forgot to include the following incident. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

The second group on Friday saw a Red-winged Blackbird land on the back of a Sandhill Crane and it stayed there as long as they could follow it with their binoculars.
