Interactions & Displays
Pigeon Guillemot PIGU (Cepphus Columba)
Ogden Point Breakwater
Victoria BC
DSCN3801
Field Mark Cues ^i^
Some of their trademark high pitched vocalization is apparent in Vic Doc
Orange feet and white feature on wings are diagnostic for this species in the our area
...with vocalization one gets a chance to view this "other aspect "
Quite a bit of flying and interactions
i was thinking most/some of it may be sub adult posturing and pair bonding competition & displays.....but they are also nesting in close proximity ....so i don't really know
