I wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter!!!
not too sure really, it looked like it to me at first but after 5 or 10 minutes of this they walked side by side as if they were friends and then a few minutes later started chasing each other around again...we watched them for close on 40 minutes and each time I was wondering are they friends fooling around or male dominance display...
Karoo national park, South Africa
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).

This display is part of the male great egret's courtship behavior. A nearby female watched him perform his ritual. It worked:)

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.
In between Black Week and Cyber Monday, we actually still have the first Sunday of Advent. So enjoy your day! I shot this photo a year ago through a display window at a small art and antiques shop in Bamberg's Old Town. [DSC09611_lr_3000]
Thank you all for your clicks, comments and faves.

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.

Captured in Jacksonville, Florida, this male Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei) displays its vibrant, orange-red dewlap. While common throughout the Sunshine State, these hardy lizards are actually an invasive species from the Caribbean.
Here are two FUN FACTS about these small lizards:
1. Brown Anoles can detach their tails to escape predators, leaving the wiggling tail behind as a distraction.
2. These lizards are known to eat their own shed skin to recycle nutrients like calcium and protein.
