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).

Fairy lights and their reflections make a beautiful holiday display.
There are so many lights one is in danger of sensory overload!

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

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Everything in the grounds of Wat Hong Rattanaram is fake. It does give for a well manicured fresh look which couldn't be otherwise replicated in the tropics but it does also look rather tacky

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.

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.
