L'Estrange: Bustards and Cranes.
Some Sportsmen that were abroad upon Game, spy'd a Company of Bustards and Cranes a Feeding together, and so made in upon 'em as fast astheir Horses could carry them. The Cranes that were light, took Wing immediately, and saved themselves, but the Bustards were Taken; for they were Fat, and Heavy, and count not Shift so well as the Other.
