LongTail-4998-j
Long-tailed Duck Displaying (Clangula hyemalis)
New Jersey
This species is fun to watch and photograph along the coast in winter. Sometimes when they form large feeding groups the males will show off for the females by calling and preforming some interesting courtship behavior.
Calling and posturing in a erect position are the most common and noticable but every so often one will do this curtsy or forward lean with it's tail held high in the air.
