Love is in the Air for This Gallinule

This was a first for us. We saw a Gallinule with all his white tail feathers splayed out. This is an early mating ritual. In courtship, male chases female on land; both stop, bow deeply, preen each other's feathers. Other displays involve lowering head and raising tail, exposing white patches under tail. We were not sure if this was courtship but it sure got our attention.
