During breeding season the plumage of the Great White Heron turns into a wedding dress. They love to display or show off these beautiful feathers as shown demonstrated. Taken at Venice Audubon Rookery in Venice Florida just after sunrise.
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.

Thank you for viewing
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). (Great Blue Heron - Ardea herodias). (Sony a1ii, 400mm lens, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 4000).
Sandhill Crane (Antigone canadensis)
Lifer
Hyatt Meadows - Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Marshes
Food : Omnivore
Nesting : Ground
Behavior : Probing
Conservation : Low Concern
"Whether stepping singly across a wet meadow or filling the sky by the hundreds and thousands, Sandhill Cranes have an elegance that draws attention. These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace. Sandhill Crane populations are generally strong, but isolated populations in Mississippi and Cuba are endangered."

Display of succulents in shade, against the background of a sunny ancient sandstone wall behind a wheelchair ramp. It was a lovely warm sunshiny day on the second day of spring.

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:)

I enjoyed such scene so much.
The timing of upper and lower fireworks can be enjoyed at the same time.
The control of launch timing is really nice.

A peacock displaying in Ranthambhore National Park in India! As the peacock would turn, different colors would appear! Mostly greens, pink and blues.
at the UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley, CA. The most popular happening of the year! Featuring the "karoo and fynbos" areas of South Africa's wild landscape.
It is late winter/early spring here in coastal northern California.
In South Africa, it is now late summer (according to what I read).
So, in their homeplace, these plants would be blooming in their late summer.
