Standoff! What will these cranes do next?

ICF's Eva Szyszkoski says:

 

Since neither crane backed down, it came to blows. Both attempt to jump-rake each other — jumping up high and bringing their feet forward to rake the "enemy" with their sharp toe nails. Remember: Whooping cranes are nearly five feet tall. Aren't you glad you are not in the fence? How else do you think these cranes may try to show who's boss?
