Sometimes the concept of a photo comes to life right before your eyes.
These two different species going around and round, swimming away and coming back together to play and swim was so much fun to watch.
We could learn a lot from these two.

The hawks have been mating and taking twigs to various locations. The DUCOM dorm building façade is still in the running, but no nest site decision has been made.

"Mating occurs roughly every 2-3 years mainly in shallow waters. Copulation usually begins near the shore. Hawksbills leave the water only during the breeding season when females dig nests in the sand, typically near vegetation. The entire nesting process takes 1-3 hours."

The male is on top of his mate. After a few minutes of fluttering around, he got irritated with our presence and flew him and his mate up to a tree branch.
During our four-day moosing excursion we consistently noted some pre-mating season activity that we hadn't witnessed before. Typically, in mid-August, bulls hang out in bachelor groups and cows are loners. But this year, the bulls and cows were grouped together and exhibiting some mild mating behavior.
We saw one group of three bulls and three cows hanging together, another group of two bulls and two cows and yet another group of four bulls and two cows. The bulls were doing a lot of butt sniffing and the cows were showing modest interest.
All of this was unusual for mid-August. My friend Amy even noticed it a week before when she was in the same area and also noted that it was quite unusual.
Another double post. I watched these two Grackles go through a mating ritual/dance the other day. Quite amusing to watch.
Thanks for Viewing.
I had come across a nest with four beautiful eggs. Alerted to the nest by the common alarm and broken wing act, I had not expected this action to follow.
We have resident Spruce Grouse in the woods on our property. We have named this handsome fellow Romeo. For the past two weeks, he has been out courting the Spruce Hens that live on our property and it has been quite entertaining to say the least.
Two nights ago, we came home from town and Romeo was on top of our truck's tonneau cover doing his mating ritual.
When doing his ritual, he spreads his feathers out like the image above, then moves them from side to side. After doing this a few times, he then will peck at the ground or in this case, a branch. His next move is to extend his wings out maybe an inch on each side and have the wingtips pointing towards the ground. He will then run towards the hen and if she is receptive, then he will mate. If not, she will fly off and Romeo will start all over again. Gotta love Romeo!

Perteneció a la noble familia de los Borrull.
Desde 1883 a 1892 se instaló en él la Audiencia de Asuntos Criminales del Partido Judicial de San Mateo, hecho que condiciona el nombre por el que se conoce popularmente este edificio.
Este palacio está datado en el siglo xv.
Presenta una amplia fachada de sillares de composición simétrica junto con una puerta de acceso situada debajo de un gran arco adovelado.
Es sede del Museo Municipal de San Mateo.
En este portal de entrada, se encuentran los famosos gigantes de Sant Mateu, que sacan en la fiestas populares
y llevan por nombre, Mateo, y Angeles, como los Patrones del pueblo.
San Mateo y Nuestra Señora de los Angeles.

It took a good minute with quite a few approaches. The female never budged & at times the male seemed to be holding on to some of her head feathers.
Is this Cormorant Kissing? Just wondering? 😄
