Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

The largest/heaviest flying bird native to Africa, the Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) is a ground dwelling bird and an opportunistic omnivore. The males can get up to 42 lbs and stand nearly 5 feet tall; they may be twice as heavy as the females.
This is a male in breeding display striding about with his neck puffed out, his tail fanned and wings planed and pointed downward. If he was looking to court a lady, we saw none in the vicinity - perhaps he was just practicing his routine.

Unlike many other lazy males, it is the male Great Blue Heron that builds and takes primary responsibility for maintaining the nest. Once built, to attract a mate he begins a display where he squats down, raises up calling lifting his beak to the sky. It’s sad to see a male go through a season, building a nest, displaying over and over again to no avail. Maybe it’s his first or possibly last season or there is a shortage of females. Unknown. Maybe he just built a lousy nest and no female would approve. Anyway, one he has successfully attracted a mate he will continue to bring nesting material and pass the sticks to the female who will work to intertwine them with the existing sticks to further solidify the nest. Quite a show. This guy is shown at the apex of the display on, what looks like to me, a fine nest and I liked his display too. (OK, hold those comments wise guys).

"The Loveliest Castle in the World" is just along the road from where i live had their firework display this evening I was lucky to have some press passes to go and watch and take pictures
for all the people who just hit the FAVE button and move on, there is this thing called the comment box. You might try using it once in awhile. I notice that a lot of the people who never comment are those who have a thousand or more contacts they follow which seems just ludicrous. How can you possibly connect with that many people here unless you do nothing else in your life. So if you hit the fave button in the hopes I will come and make you a contact, forget it. Doesn't work that way with me.
This display is part of the male great egret's courtship behavior. A nearby female watched him perform his ritual. It worked:)

Lorna, The Bear Den, and I headed out to Stephannson House Provincial Historic Site on Sunday for their quilt show. Lovely day, and so many beautiful quilts on display!

The blue tone had felt cool in the summer night,
although it was 38℃ in the daytime.
Now, it's too hot in Japan.

I just happened upon this egret all by itself. I shot through an opening in trees to get the display.

Goldeneye have a little mating dance ritual and as part of the choreography they throw their heads back like in the photo. The courtship display is very entertaining to watch it if you can catch them in the middle of it. The Bufflehead and the Hooded Merganser have similar rituals too. The following Cornell Lab of Ornithology web page provides a nice snapshot of the Duck Courtship Displays www.allaboutbirds.org/what-to-watch-for-duck-courtship-vi...
